Aaron Judge is chasing history once again, and this time, he's on the verge of doing something no one in Major League Baseball has ever done.
The New York Yankees' slugger is just 36 home runs away from becoming the first player in MLB history to hit 50 or more home runs in five separate seasons. That's right—not Babe Ruth, not Hank Aaron, not Barry Bonds. No one has ever accomplished this feat.
Judge is already in elite company. He's tied with Ruth, Mark McGwire, and Sammy Sosa for the most 50-homer seasons in a career, with four apiece. But a fifth would put him in a class all by himself. Considering he already has 16 home runs this season, the 34-year-old is well on his way.
Let's put this in perspective. Hitting 50 home runs even once is a monumental achievement. Doing it four times? That's legendary. But five? That's rewriting the record books entirely. Judge's power at the plate has been nothing short of remarkable, and he continues to defy expectations year after year.
Of course, it won't be easy. He still needs to connect on 34 more homers this season, and that's no small task. But if anyone can do it, it's the man who has already made a habit of doing the impossible. Whether you're a Yankees fan or just a lover of the game, this is one chase you won't want to miss.
