Aaron Judge has undeniably been a standout performer in the MLB regular season, showcasing his immense talent for the New York Yankees. Throughout this season, Judge has consistently achieved and surpassed numerous milestones and records. However, on this occasion, it was not Judge but his teammate Jazz Chisholm Jr. who stole the spotlight by equaling a significant milestone established by Yankees legend Alex Rodriguez.

The Yankees have made an impressive comeback in the regular season after enduring a challenging stretch of games in June. Fueled by Judge’s exceptional leadership and the return of key injured players to the roster, the Yankees have successfully regained their competitive edge.

While Judge etched his name into the annals of MLB history with unique achievements for the Yankees, it was Chisholm Jr. who drew attention by equaling a notable accomplishment held by Rodriguez, inching closer to a legendary benchmark established by MLB icon Babe Ruth.In a recent showdown against the Toronto Blue Jays, Chisholm Jr. belted his 25th home run.

This remarkable home run allowed Chisholm Jr. to match Rodriguez as one of the players with the most home runs (HRs) and stolen bases (SBs) in franchise history during their first 100 games donning the Yankees’ pinstripes. With 28 stolen bases this season, Chisholm Jr. has even surpassed Ruth, who hit more homers (39) during his initial 100 games but only registered 11 stolen bases.

  • Babe Ruth: 39 HR | 11 SB
