All the 6-foot-7 New York Yankees slugger has to do is finish with at least 50 home runs this season. Sure, easier said than done, but Judge has done it before, and he's currently on pace to hit 54 homers this season, according to MLB. com .
And the key is this: The most times a player has ever hit 50 homers in a season for a career is four. Judge is one of four players tied at four. If he hit 50 homers again, it'd be his fifth 50-HR season, an unprecedented feat.
Four players, including Judge, have hit 50 home runs in a season four times. The others are Babe Ruth, Sammy Sosa and Mark McGwire. Alex Rodriguez did it three times, and no one else did it more than twice.
