Will Aaron Judge win the American League MVP this season? Well, leave this debate for the experts. Because winning individual accolades has never been a priority for Judge. The New York Yankees slugger prefers to be a team man. And he would do anything for his team to win the games.

Apart from whether Judge will be an MVP or not, there is another debate going on about his home run record. Notably, the Yankees star is going through his career-best form. Currently, Judge is on a pace to hit over 60 home runs this season. And if he manages to do so, he might end up breaking a decades-old record.

With 30 home runs from the plate, Judge has hit the most home runs in the entire MLB this season. And he has the best chance to break Roger Maris’ home run record. Notably, while playing for the Yankees, Maris had hit 61 home runs in the 1961 season. And since then, no Yankee has crossed that mark.

“Like you said, I try to focus on what I can do for the team and whatever I can just to win tonight’s game. And then we will get ready for the next one and look down the road later. But it would be pretty cool….,” Aaron Judge said.

“That’s what the Yankees are about. They are about history, they have had a lot of great players come through here and get a chance to be a part of that history and do something special like that, besides win a ring.”
