New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge is still unstoppable and this Saturday he showed it again by hitting his home run number 41 of the season 2022 with which he managed to knock down a Babe Ruth record that dated almost ago 100 years.
In the game against the Kansas City Royals, Judge appeared just in the second inning to send the ball into the stands and become the New York Yankees player to hit the most home runs before the beginning of August .
With this he smashed a mark that dated back to 1928 and was in the hands of the legendary Babe Ruth. ‘El Bambino’ had hit 30 home runs in this period of time and his record remained valid for 94 years, a fact that further highlights the feat of the ‘Judge’.
In total there have been three connections that Judge has dispatched in less than 24 hours, which was enough to ensure registration, however, you still have the opportunity to continue registering your name in history to be the player in the entire history of MLB.
The absolute record for most home runs before the month of August is held by Barry Bonds (2001) and Mark McGwire (2001), who shot 45 each.
In the same way, the one from the Bronx will stand between his eyebrows and knock down Bonds’ own record with the most HR in a season with 73 (2001).
Judge continues to accumulate numbers for the Most Valuable Player and up to this moment accumulates .297 average with 42 HR and 91 runs batted in.
Judge’s hit served to lead the Yankees 8-2 against the Kansas City Royals and reached 69 victories in the season, being the team with the most wins so far in Major League Baseball.
