Aaron Judge is having a season to remember for the New York Yankees. Just how will we remember it? Well, that's the part to be determined. See, Judge is hitting homers at a blistering pace — threatening to break Roger Maris' American League (and Yankees) record for long balls.
If he plays all the Yankees' remaining games,Of course, he's not a lock to play every game, and he's certainly not assured of keeping up his prodigious pace.it would be just the 17th MLB season with that many homers.While Barry Bonds, Sammy Sosa and Mark McGwire trounced Maris’ longstanding record in their late '90s, early 2000s slugfests, they all did so in the National League. The Yankees great’s mark, 61, still stands in the AL.
Maris and Ruth have the only 60-homer seasons in Yankees history, with Ruth also logging a 59-homer year in 1921. Judge himself was the last Yankee to surpass the 50-homer threshold, during his Rookie of the Year-winning 2017.As he races toward a potential AL MVP award, Judge could also best his teammate Giancarlo Stanton’s single-season homer mark among active players. Stanton crushed 59 homers during his 2017 NL MVP season for the Miami Marlins.
