Baseball Birthdays This Weeked
If your birthday is Friday the 26th, you share it with the American League's single-season home run champ, Aaron Judge . The Yankee captain made history the first game he played when he followed fellow rookie Tyler Austin's homer in his debut at-bat with one of his own. It's still the only time in more than 150 years of MLB history this has occurred. 2017's Rookie of the Year and a five-time All Star, Judge just passed Derek Jeter on the Yankees all time home run list -- and is roughly four 35-homer seasons from reaching 400. As long as he remains healthy, he'll get there. Sharing 4/26 with Aaron Judge is onetime division rival -- and current crosstown rival -- Joey Wendle . Best known for his four seasons (2019-'22) with Tampa Bay, he was traded just before his walk year to the Marlins, where he put up the worst numbers of his career. Signing with the Mets last winter, he's filled in at 2nd, short and 3rd so far this season. Saturday's birthday
