Aaron Judge Joins 60-Homer Club
Aaron Judge joins Roger Maris and Babe Ruth as the only three American League players to hit sixty homeruns in a season.
These three players all had one thing in common, they all played for the Yankees. Babe Ruth in 1927 and Roger Maris in 1961.
Judge hit his sixtieth homerun on Tuesday night in the Bronx, reminding baseball fans that no one does celebration and big moments quite like the Yankees.
Judge also finished the night as the American League leader in each triple crown category. Only two other Yankee players have won a triple crown, Lou Gehrig and Mickey Mantle.
This is big news in the sports world. Only three people have ever done this without the use of performance enhancers and all three of them played for the Yankees. Athletes have been pushing the limits of what is considered possible forever, but for three athletes to be the only to achieve the feat all from the same place raises the question is it all coincidental.
One response so far
Good that you mentioned PEDs. No guarantee Judge is clean, but at least his cranium hasn’t exploded.
