The most important record in American sports is the record for home runs, the hits that lead in the game of baseball to the ball going out of the field and giving the team at least one point depending on the number of runners on the bases.
Tonight, New York Yankees player Aaron Judge hit his 43rd home run of the season in a game against the Seattle Mariners and placed himself on another list along with the best hitters of all time.
The 30-year-old Judge, in addition to being among the tallest players in the MLB league this season (2.01), is in his sixth season in the league and has played in four All-star games so far.
This season he leads by a huge margin when it comes to batting with a .297 average, 43 home runs (10 more than the next player) and 93 home runs.
His team leads the AL East by 12 games with the best record in MLB.

The situation with Judge in light of the MVP season that he is building a name for himself as someone who cannot be served balls to, for fear that he will throw the next hit.
However, since it's the Yankees, the richest team in the league, teams that choose to automatically move him to first base run into a talented lineup that punishes pitchers for the decision.
Last summer Judge refused to sign a contract extension worth 213 million dollars for seven seasons and at the end of this season he is expected to become a free agent.
The decision surprised many but he "bet on his abilities and succeeded".

Unless there are surprises from the direction of the phenomenon Shohei Ohtani, Judge may end the season with the title of MVP and with a contract worth an estimated 300 million dollars.
The level of talent in the league is at its peak and Judge proves decisively this season that he is part of the elite that leads the future generation.
From his data this season, it would not be unreasonable to say that he is on his way to not only being one of the leading players today, but may one day be a regular player in conversations about the best players of all time.
