I thought Time used to boast about its global reach? A baseball player looks like a weird choice in this regard.

(btw I still have to look at past AotYs, maybe a lacrosse player won last year and I'm oblivious)

They’ve only been doing Athlete of the Year since 2019, but so far all of them have been American. USWNT in 2019, Lebron James in 2020, and Simone Biles in 2021

Anybody besides me habitually ignore the ‘American League’ in this and any other similar headlines?

Time for MLB to do away with individual league records and awards and just acknowledge as one league.

Well one league is 147 years old and one is only 121 years old. Doesn’t seem right to compare them

It really was just the MLBs way of trying to make the rest of us care about Judge breaking the Yankees' franchise record for Home Runs.

Considering both leagues now use the DH, as well as inter-league play. there really is no point in having the leagues this separate. Only to appeal to boomers.

That's great now if he could only produce in the post season when it actually matters that would be great

It was so annoying when ESPN would cut away from college football for every Judge AB. And now this. Can't escape this man's reign of terror.
