NEW YORK – In the legendary New York Yankees, where immortal names like Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle and Lou Gehrig have shined, a new name is gradually etching itself into the team’s history: Aaron Judge.
In a season where Judge’s power and class continue to overwhelm experts, he has officially risen to third place all-time in Yankees history for multiple-HR games – with 44 games in just 1,076 appearances.
A Lightning Jump
Compared to Yankees legends:
Babe Ruth – 68 multi-HR games (2,084 games)
Mickey Mantle – 46 (2,401 games)
Aaron Judge – 44 (1,076 games) 🔥
Lou Gehrig – 43 (2,164 games)
Joe DiMaggio – 35 (1,736 games)
Judge not only caught up to Lou Gehrig but surpassed him in just over half the games – something that has never happened to any modern slugger.
There is no doubt – Judge is a symbol of the new era
At 33, Judge is at the peak of his career. Every time he steps on the mound, Yankee Stadium explodes with expectation and belief. He is not only the captain, the tactical center, but also the soul of the team.
The Road Ahead: Will He Surpass the Bambino?
With 68 multi-HR games, Babe Ruth remains the untouchable pinnacle – but if anyone can surpass him in the modern era, it’s Judge. Judge is averaging a multi-HR game every 24.4 games – twice as fast as Ruth and Mantle.
If he can maintain his form and health, a historic upset could happen sooner than we think.
A Legend in the Making
Aaron Judge is no longer the future – he’s the present for the New York Yankees. And every time he swings the bat, it’s not just a homerun, it’s a new chapter in pinstripe history.
How long until he puts his hands on Ruth’s throne?
The answer may come sooner than you think…
