The New York Yankees, led by Aaron Judge, exhibited an outstanding performance in their final regular-season series against the Atlanta Braves. With a series win of 2-1 over Atlanta, the Yankees’ fanbase has reason to be optimistic, particularly considering the team’s earlier struggles before the All-Star break.
Holding a 55-44 record before entering their 100th regular-season game on Monday against the Toronto Blue Jays, the Yankees have managed an impressive campaign, despite some midseason challenges. The Blue Jays had momentarily surpassed them in the AL East standings and continue to lead the division.
Despite some disappointing performances, fans are thrilled with Aaron Judge’s exceptional regular-season stats. The star slugger is breaking records that have stood for more than 70 years and is matching legendary milestones achieved by icons like Babe Ruth and Jimmie Foxx.
Recently, Judge reached a notable milestone, joining the top three active players in an exclusive club. With his home run against the Braves in Atlanta on Sunday, Judge joined Willy Adames, Randal Grichuk, and Carlos Santana as the active players who have homered in the most different venues during regular-season games.
Judge has now hit home runs in 32 different ballparks, joining those active players on the list. Only two others surpass this mark: his teammate Giancarlo Stanton, with 36 venues, and Manny Machado, with 34 venues where they have each launched home runs.
