Last Friday, Aaron Judge’s exhilarating grand slam did more than just lead the New York Yankees to a breathtaking victory over the Boston Red Sox.
The home run placed the Yankees’ captain in a prestigious class in Major League Baseball history.
Only three players have ever recorded a season with at least 50 home runs, 30 doubles, 120 walks, and 130 RBIs.

Babe Ruth achieved this milestone twice in 1920 and 1921, Barry Bonds in 2001, and now Aaron Judge in the 2024 season.
During the Yankees’ 5-4 comeback win, Judge went 2-for-4, including the grand slam and a walk.
Judge’s walk in the first inning marked his 120th of the season, and his four RBIs from the grand slam raised his season total to 130.
At 32, Judge is amidst another stellar season that might earn him his second MVP award in three years.

After hitting two homers against the Colorado Rockies on Aug. 26, it seemed the six-time All-Star might break his own American League record of 62 home runs in a season set in 2022.
However, following that game, Judge went on a 16-game homerless streak, the longest of his career.

With the Yankees’ win and the Baltimore Orioles’ loss to the Detroit Tigers on Friday, New York expanded its lead in the American League East to three games.
