MLB fans, and particularly Yankee fans, are thrilled about new rookie sensation Aaron Judge. Just a few days ago, “Judge continued his torrid rookie season with his 25th home run of the season Thursday night. The blast gave the Yankees a 5-1 lead, but it was not enough as they faltered and fell 10-5 to the Angels, their eighth loss in nine games.” Yes, the Yankees are not having their best year, but Judge certainly is. He’s hit 25 home runs in 70 team games, being the second-fastest to 25 home runs in the past eight years. If he stays on pace, Judge will be on track to hit 58 home runs this season, which could “threaten Mark McGwire’s rookie single-season home run record of 49 in 1987.” Not only that, he is one of six players in Yankees history to hit at least 25 home runs through 70 team games, joining Babe Ruth (#13 FCIR), Lou Gehrig (#6 BEIR), Mickey Mantle (#5 FEIR), Roger Maris (#6 BEIR) and Alex Rodriguez (#5 FEIR).
