Wade Boggs was one of the best hitters of all-time and a first-ballot Hall of Famer.
The idea of swapping Loria for Jeter and Bush would be a remarkable win for the sport, and the potential of the new ownership could raise the profile of the franchise quite a bit.
Moon-shot home runs? Fun. Third-best record in baseball? Lots of fun. Greg Bird? Not so much.
Aaron Hicks also went yard as New York tallied 11 runs and 16 hits against Toronto at the Stadium.
Returning this season after missing all of last year with a shoulder injury, Bird has struggled mightily, batting .100 with one homer and three RBIs. In his last nine games, he is 2-for-31 (.065).
Scouting Aaron Judge couldn't have been all that hard, right? Watch him hit the ball a country mile and say, "Sign here, please."

The Yankees will play their 20th game of the season in Boston on Thursday night. And manager Joe Girardi says he's thrilled with what he's seen so far.

It says here this early-season spat matters. Even in April. Even with 19 games to play against their eternal tormentors. It matters, even if more to the Yankees than the Red Sox or the rest of baseball.
