Welcome back to the Aaron Judge Home Run Record Tracker! We’re taking a daily look at where Aaron Judge’s monster season tracks compared to some of the other historic single-season home run leaders in anticipation of Judge potentially joining their ranks. We’ll be going by Team Game because not every player’s seasons were in sync with the calendar days and everyone didn’t play all of the team’s games, which makes this our universal standard. Now, for Game 132:
Aaron Judge through Game 132 of 2022: 51 HR
Team Game 132: 9/3 — 0-for-2, 1 BB, 2 K, reached on catcher’s interference
The Rays followed a similar formula last night that others (including them) followed for most of August, challenging the rest of the Yankees’ lineup to beat them instead.
