Aaron Judge made history once again by hitting his 50th home run of the season, matching a major league record for the fourth time. The New York Yankees slugger’s three-run blast in the second inning against the Chicago White Sox put him in elite company alongside baseball legends like Babe Ruth, Mark McGwire, and Sammy Sosa, who have also achieved four 50-homer seasons.
Judge’s 392-foot shot off Jonathan Cannon gave the Yankees a 3-1 lead and showcased his remarkable power. The two-time AL MVP, leading the majors in batting average and OPS, continues to dominate at the plate with 108 RBIs this season.
In another impressive display of power, Cal Raleigh of the Seattle Mariners hit his 59th and 60th home runs in a game against the Colorado Rockies. The left-handed batter’s two solo shots further solidified his position as the MLB leader in home runs this season.
Raleigh’s exceptional performance includes tying the MLB record for multi-home run games in a season, putting him in the same category as Aaron Judge, Hank Greenberg, and Sammy Sosa. With a chance to break the American League single-season home run record held by Aaron Judge, Raleigh’s recent homers have propelled him past baseball greats like Ken Griffey Jr. and Mickey Mantle in various home run categories.
Currently leading the MLB in home runs, Raleigh’s outstanding season places him ahead of other power hitters like Kyle Schwarber and Shohei Ohtani. With his impressive display of power and consistency, Raleigh continues to make a significant impact in the Mariners’ lineup.
