SAN FRANCISCO -- In August of 2016, Alex Rodriguez retired as a Yankee and the organization called up Aaron Judge, who has become a superstar slugger himself.
The newest Giant was right in the middle of all that.
Rodriguez played his final game on August 12 and the next day the Yankees promoted Judge and a young first baseman named Tyler Austin. The two would make history, becoming the first teammates to homer in their first Major League at-bats in the same game. Austin and Judge went back-to-back in the second inning of that August 13 game against the (Evan Longoria-led) Rays.
