Aaron Judge is making history with the New York Yankees as the third player in franchise history to reach 80 RBI before July, joining legends Lou Gehrig and Babe Ruth. Despite losing to the Toronto Blue Jays on Saturday, Judge continued his impressive season with a two-run homer on Sunday in an 8-1 victory over Toronto. With 31 home runs and 82 RBI, Judge leads MLB and is proving to be a valuable asset for the team as they navigate through a competitive season.
Yankees manager Aaron Boone praised Judge’s performance, acknowledging that he has joined some of the greatest players in franchise history with his incredible statistics. Gleyber Torres also commended Judge for his leadership and energy that the team feeds off as they head into July. Despite being in contention for the Triple Crown and leading MLB in batting average alongside Shohei Ohtani, Judge remains focused on team success rather than individual accolades.
Judge emphasized that winning is the primary goal for him and his teammates, stating that wearing the Yankees pinstripes means playing to win a championship. While recognition for his outstanding season would be appreciated, Judge’s priority is helping the team succeed and ultimately reach their goal of winning a championship.
