JUDGE BECOMES 2ND-FASTEST TO 200 HRS WITH NO. 42

NEW YORK -- As members of the greatest teams in recent Yankees history milled
about in Monument Park on Saturday afternoon, inspecting the plaques and retired
numbers, one name continued to spill from their lips. Those assembled alumni
marveled at the special season Aaron Judge is enjoying, while also wondering
aloud about his pinstriped future.

The favorite for the American League Most Valuable Player Award, Judge continued
to show he can keep pace with legends and everyone else, becoming the
second-fastest player in AL/NL history to blast 200 career home runs in the
Bombers’ 8-2 victory over the Royals at Yankee Stadium.

• Box score

“It’s great; a lot of hard work with a lot of people over the years to get to
this point,” Judge said. “I’m excited to get that out of the way, plus we got a
win, so just keep it rolling.”

Judge’s Major League-leading 42nd home run was his 12th long ball in 14 games,
the most in a 14-game span in franchise history. He eclipsed Babe Ruth (41
homers in 1928) for the most home runs ever hit by a Yankee before Aug. 1, amid
a surge that puts Judge on track to shatter Roger Maris’ American League
single-season record of 61 home runs, which was set in 1961.



• Aaron Judge home run pace tracker

“You can’t look at it,” said Judge, who is on pace to hit 67 homers over a
162-game schedule. “I’ve just got to keep working hard, keep my head down and do
what I can to help this team win games. At the end of the year, we can talk
about what we finish at.”



Judge’s second-inning, two-run blast off right-hander Jonathan Heasley came in
his 671st career game. Only Ryan Howard (658 games) reached the milestone faster
than Judge, who also joined Jorge Posada (275), Derek Jeter (260) and Don
Mattingly (222) as the only players drafted by the Yankees to hit 200 or more
homers with the franchise.



“I told him, ‘You’ll see that home run a lot for the rest of your life,’”
Yankees manager Aaron Boone said. “When they’re marking back from whatever the
final number ends up being, they’ll go back and say, ‘Here was his 200th.’ It
was a wall-scraper for him, but he smoked it. I told him, ‘The right fielder
would have been moving in if I hit that same ball.’”

Matt Carpenter also hit his 15th homer of the season as the Yankees took
advantage of a sloppy three-error Kansas City performance, supporting five solid
innings from left-hander Nestor Cortes, who held the Royals to two runs on five
hits. Cortes, too, frequently finds himself shifting into fan mode when watching
Judge in the batter’s box.



“Every night, everybody is expecting a home run from him. I mean, we are,” said
Cortes, who improved to 3-0 with a 2.60 ERA over his last five starts.



That was true for the alumni as well. They cheered the Yanks’ 69th win from a
suite three decks above the field, having assembled for the 12th Old-Timers’ Day
at the current Yankee Stadium and the first since 2019, marveling at Judge’s
past, present and future.

“I’m just so proud of him,” said former infielder Willie Randolph. “I got a
chance to spend some time with him in Spring Training. We got together and
talked about a lot of different things, just baseball in general. The way he
stepped up, I’m not really surprised. But he’s having a phenomenal year. I just
hope that he continues to stay healthy.”

Former first baseman Tino Martinez said that he believes Judge can surpass
Maris’ record.



“As long as they keep pitching to him, I believe he can do it,” Martinez said.
“He’s got a short swing. He puts the ball to bat and it goes a long way. If he
keeps doing what he’s doing, I think he will get there.”

Added Randolph: “’I’m surprised they pitch to him as much as they do. I mean,
what are you doing? The guy’s 6-foot-7; you don’t notice he’s here?”

Bernie Williams, who posed for camera phone selfies in front of his Monument
Park plaque before the game, said he senses Judge “feels the allure and
greatness of remaining a Yankee.” Assuming he and the club strike a contract
extension, Williams can picture a day when Judge claims a plaque of his own.

“Every time I see him talking on TV, he just says the right things all the
time,” Williams said. “He’s a good ambassador for the team. I think if he signs
a long-term deal, he’s probably in line to be the next captain. There’s no doubt
about that in my mind.”
