Yankees, Aaron Boone and but Judge
Digest more
Aaron Judge is back to being the driving force of the Yankees' lineup -- making history in the process with Shohei Ohtani.
Last year, Judge had 18 first-inning home runs. He's the first player in MLB history to have two seasons of 15 or more first-inning homers, according to Baseball Reference researcher Katie Sharp. It's a remarkable feat, really. Judge has hit 37.5% of his home runs this season in the first inning.
Aaron Judge, Cody Bellinger, and Giancarlo Stanton hit back-to-back-to-back home runs, giving the New York Yankees a 3-0 lead over the Tampa Bay Rays.
The New York Yankees are in a tough spot once again with Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton as neither of them can play right field right now.
And Aaron Judge. That's about as impressive a list of hitters as you could find anywhere in MLB history. Of course, that quartet is made up of New York Yankees, and they're now joined in franchise history. Those are the four players who have had at least four 40-homer seasons in their careers in the Bronx.
New York Yankees designated hitter Aaron Judge wore Air Jordan 1 Low cleats in a custom "Fresh Prince" colorway for MLB Players' Weekend.
