Aaron Judge in 2022

Words can’t possibly explain the season is having. Since making his debut in 2016, Judge has only impressed his Yankee fanbase with every game he plays. His performance this season has also led to people drawing parallels between him and previous Yankee great Derek Jeter.

Now, Judge is competing for a Triple Crown – the first player to get this close to the award since the previous winner in 2012. Judge is already at 60 and Roger Maris’ 61 seems like a simple formality now with the entire postseason left. How much further will the superstar slugger be able to go? Is there any possibility for him to compete with the National League power-hitters in Mickey Mantle, Sammy Sosa, and Mark McGwire?
