Judge hits his 50th homer of the 2025 season, fourth time in his career… joining baseball legends Babe Ruth, Mark McGwire, and Sammy Sosa.BRONX, N.Y. — The Yankees opened 2025 on what felt like a mission, hitting 15 home runs on Opening Weekend and signaling a redemption tour was underway. Months later, that same energy has carried into September, giving fans reason to believe October could bring something special.
Aaron Judge added another chapter to his growing legacy by hitting his 50th home run of the season. It was the fourth time in his career he has reached the milestone, cementing his place among the game’s greats. More than just numbers, Judge’s power has been a catalyst, sparking rallies and swinging momentum in New York’s favor when it mattered most.
The Yankees then clinched their postseason spot in dramatic fashion. José Caballero delivered a walk-off hit that sent Yankee Stadium into chaos, with fans roaring and players spilling onto the field. It was a moment that summed up the resilience and fight this team has shown throughout the season.
Max Fried has been just as important in his first year in pinstripes. The left-hander has given New York the ace it needed, leading the rotation with command and composure. His presence provides the Yankees with the kind of pitching anchor that October demands.
From Opening Weekend fireworks to September milestones, this Yankees team has shown it is built for the spotlight. Judge’s power, Caballero’s clutch swing, and Fried’s dominance have set the tone. The war-zone mentality from April has carried through the summer. Now October awaits, and the Yankees look ready to redeem themselves on the biggest stage.
