NEW YORK -- Aaron Judge smiled and perhaps blushed when informed of Jazz Chisholm Jr.'s praise.
"We all tell him every day: 'Hey, we want to be you when we grow up,'" Chisholm said after Judge became the third-fastest New York Yankees player to reach 500 extra-base hits with a three-run homer in the first inning of Thursday night's 9-7 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks.
And the two players who reached the mark in fewer games than Judge? Joe DiMaggio and Lou Gehrig.
"When I'm an old man coming to Old-Timers Day, I can look back and we can joke about it and laugh about it," Judge said.
