New York Yankees’ outfielder Aaron Judge made history on Sunday, becoming the first player in franchise history to hit 50 home runs in a single season. Judge’s milestone home run came in the fifth inning of the Yankees’ game against the Kansas City Royals, a towering shot that landed in the left field seats at Yankee Stadium.

The 50th home run was just the latest highlight in what has been a remarkable season for Judge. The 25-year-old rookie has taken the baseball world by storm, leading the American League in home runs, runs scored, and walks. He has also been a key contributor on defense, showcasing his strong arm and impressive range in right field.

Judge’s power at the plate has been a major factor in the Yankees’ success this season. His ability to hit for both power and average has made him a feared presence in the lineup, and he has quickly become a fan favorite in New York.

In addition to his on-field performance, Judge has also been praised for his humble demeanor and team-first attitude. He has quickly earned the respect of his teammates and coaches, and has emerged as a leader in the Yankees’ clubhouse.

With his 50th home run, Judge joins an elite group of players who have reached that milestone in a single season. He is just the fourth rookie in MLB history to hit 50 home runs, joining Mark McGwire, Jose Abreu, and Pete Alonso.

As the Yankees make their push for the playoffs, Judge’s historic season will be a major storyline to watch. His power at the plate and leadership on the field will be key factors in the team’s success as they look to bring home another World Series championship to New York.
