Here’s what people were saying about the history:
@dylancny: “Has all the numbers to go down as a yankee great, just needs that ring now”
@VaksNYC: “watching history is so awesome”
@simplysarah_2: “Always adding onto the accomplishments! Good stuff Cap! 👨✈️👨✈️”
@nyyankeesstats: “Aaron Judge has passed Mickey Mantle for the second-most multi-HR games in Yankees history Yankees most multi-HR games all-time: 68 Babe Ruth 47 Aaron Judge 46 Mickey Mantle 43 Lou Gehrig”
YES Network: “Ruth. Judge. Mantle.”
Judge has proven he is already one of the best Yankees of all time.
He led the franchise to the 2024 World Series (but they lost to the Los Angeles Dodgers in five games).
A World Series Championship is all that he is missing.
