Pinstriped glory, the greatest moments in Yankee history part six: The Babe hits number 60
Growing up most young boys and girls think of Superman, Batman or Captain America as superheroes. For children in the 1920’s their superhero was Yankees' right fielder Babe Ruth. “The Great Bambino” played for the Yankees from 1920-1934 and cemented himself as arguably the greatest player of all time. He finished his career with 714 home runs good for third all-time behind only Barry Bonds and Hank Aaron; 659 of those home runs came as a member of the Yankees and that is still the franchise record.
What it means to hit 50 home runs in Major League Baseball as a rookie
Aaron James Judge accomplished an improbable feat on Monday Night as he tied and passed the infamous Mark McGwire’s record of 49 home runs in a rookie season. In the 114 years since Major League Baseball was officially founded, no player had ever hit 50 home runs in their inaugural season. None of Babe Ruth, Ted Williams, Hank Aaron or any Hall of Fame baseball player for that matter, nor the prolific juiced hitters of the late 1990s and early 2000s were able to successfully blast 50 bombs out of their respective ballparks over the course of their first season in the sport.
