were blown out 12-2 by the New York Mets on Wednesday night but that didn't stop Yankees' star Aaron Judge from continuing to set take aim at the baseball record books.Yes, there's a steroid connection to Canseco, McGwire, Bonds and Sosa, but that is a list of some of the best home run hitters in baseball history. Ruth, Bonds and Pujols each have more than 700 career homers while Griffey has more than 600.That's No.
That's No. 30 for Aaron Judge, who's on pace to become the first Yankee to hit 60 or more home runs twice in his career.That's true, as hard as it is to believe. Ruth never hit 60 homers in a season, neither did Mantle, while Roger Maris did it only once. If Judge keeps up this kind of production, he's going to be in line to win his second American League MVP Award as well. He previously won the award back in 2022.
The Yankees are now 52-30 on the season and lead the American League East by 1.0 game over the Baltimore Orioles.Follow Fastball on FanNation on social mediaBrady Farkas is a baseball writer for Fastball on Sports Illustrated/FanNation and the host of 'The Payoff Pitch' podcast which can be found on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
