New York Yankees’ Bomber Buzz 10/5/17: Judge Continues To Make History

Throughout the 2017 regular season, New York Yankees rookie sensation Aaron Judge has powered his way into the history books, smashing various records and etching his name alongside some of the all-time greats.

His 52 home runs broke Mark McGwire‘s rookie record of 49 home runs set back in 1987. Of those 52 home runs, 33 were hit at Yankee Stadium, breaking Babe Ruth‘s single-season record of home runs hit in the Bronx.

In Tuesday night’s American League Wild Card Game, Judge, yet again, put his name beside some of the Yankees’ best by becoming just the fifth Yankee under the age of 25 to hit a home run and walk in a playoff game in the last 50 years.
