There’s simply no way to exaggerate how absolutely incredible New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge has been in his 2017 rookie campaign.
For example, in 1936, the late, great Joe DiMaggio hit 29 home runs in 138 games during his rookie MLB season.
On Friday night, Judge, 25, pulverized his 30th of the season in just his 82nd game, which is nothing short of unfathomable.
No. 30! @TheJudge44 flies past Joe DiMaggio, taking @Yankees rookie homer record.
There it is! No. 30!
Aaron Judge passes Joe DiMaggio for most HR by a Yankees rookie!
