Aaron Judge hit his 50th and 51st home runs in the Yankees’ 10-3 victory over the Colorado Rockies. His continued dominance puts him on pace for American League history…AGAIN
Can We File for a Mistrial?
Aaron Judge is now the fifth player in the history of baseball to record three 50+ home run seasons. His excellence is accompanied by Alex Rodriguez, Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa, and Babe Ruth. In Judge’s rookie season he jacked 52 dingers. In 2022, he hit an AL-record 62 homers, en route to an MVP. Today, the 32-year-old is on pace for 63 home runs.
Does it Matter?
The New York Yankees last made it to the ALCS (American League Championship Series) in 2022. However, they have not been able to play for the Commissioner’s Trophy since 2009. The expectations are sky-high every year, but when does something give? The roster gets retooled with the league’s latest superstars frequently, yet nothing has changed.
Wrap Up
Many are not realizing it, but we are witnessing a generational player sweep through major league baseball. He may play for the wildly disliked Yankees, but his dominance is something to acknowledge. He is a non-problematic man who has anger issues only toward baseballs. While the Yankees may never recreate the recipe for winning, Aaron Judge will certainly find himself in Cooperstown when it’s time for Hall of Fame enshrinement.
