As the New York Yankees try to wrap up the American League East title this year, slugger Aaron Judge has put himself in truly historic company.

The New York Yankees enter play on Tuesday night at 87-63 on the season. With 12 games left on the schedule, they are 3.0 games up on the Baltimore Orioles in the American League East and 0.5 games up on the Cleveland Guardians for the best record in the AL.

If they finish with the top seed in the looming American League playoffs, they’ll get a first-round bye and homefield advantage throughout October.

The Yankees will travel to Seattle to start a three-game series with the Mariners on Tuesday. Both teams will be playing with desperation as the Yankees want to wrap up the division crown and the M’s want to keep their fading playoff hopes alive. Seattle is 4.0 games back in the American League West and 2.0 games back in the Wild Card. As the series gets set to begin, Yankees star Aaron Judge is in some truly historic company.

The entire list of people ahead of Judge is Hall of Famers or future Hall of Famers. Lou Gehrig, Ted Williams, Jimmie Foxx, Hank Greenberg and Todd Helton are all in while Albert Pujols will get in immediately when eligible.

Judge is hitting .321 this season and is likely to win the American League MVP Award. He’s got 53 home runs and 132 RBI. He’ll make a very difficult out for M’s pitching all week long.
