Former Bulldog and current New York Yankee right fielder Aaron Judge broke the MLB record for rookie home runs when he struck his 50th of the season on Monday.
Judge hit two home runs against the Kansas City Royals, tying and breaking the 49 home runs Mark McGwire hit as a rookie in 1987 with the Oakland Athletics.
“It’s been an incredible ride this whole year,” Judge told reporters after the game. “I can’t thank my teammates enough and this organization for putting me in this position. I’m blessed to be here, blessed to get a chance to play this game every day.
