If you needed a reason to fall in love with baseball again, you got two of them as the season wound down.
First, on Sept. 20, Aaron Judge became only the seventh player in history to reach 60 homers. Then, just three days later, Albert Pujols joined an even more exclusive club when he hit his 700th career homer. He joined Barry Bonds (762), Hank Aaron (755) and Babe Ruth (714).
Both events were momentous and joyous occasions, well-covered by any and every type of media. All season long, both sluggers have been hounded, hyped and highly visible. As is the case in such situations, memorabilia changes hands at a dizzying pace. And there are plenty of opportunities. On eBay alone, you’ll find more than 77,000 listings offering Pujols-related items and more than 62,000 Judge-related items. Let’s take a look.
