Aaron Judge already adding to Hall of Fame résumé with scorching Yankees start
NY Post
This is Aaron Judge’s 10th season in the majors, so he’s played long enough to officially have a Hall of Fame career.
And while he already has a few tokens displayed on loan in Cooperstown — including the bat he used in his MLB debut on Aug. 13, 2016, when he and Tyler Austin became the first players to hit back-to-back homers in their first MLB at-bats, and the jersey he wore when he hit the 44th home run of his record-breaking rookie season on Sept. 18, 2017, as well as the bat he used to hit his record-tying 61st home run in 2022 — Judge has never been there.
“I haven’t,’’ Judge said recently. “I think they’ve got some things of mine. I’ll go at some point, but not right now.”
Asked if he was waiting for an invitation, Judge smiled and said, “Maybe when I’m done playing.”
In the meantime, Judge is in the midst of the best start of his career.
He’ll bring an incredible .415 average into Friday’s series opener against Toronto in The Bronx, as well as an on-base percentage of .513 and slugging percentage of .734.
SAN DIEGO — As you may have seen elsewhere in this newspaper (and also if you haven’t deleted me yet from your social media), I have a book coming out Tuesday called “The Bosses of The Bronx.” Much of it details the 37 years’ worth of antics, winning, losing, winning again and overall mania of George Steinbrenner’s time with the Yankees.
