Perhaps the best way to explain Aaron Judge is that you always have to keep track of him.
Increasingly, this has been true of big league managers who have taken to walking Judge in decidedly non-free-pass situations. That's where Judge's career is right now, on the day he reached the 300 career home runs club in fewer games -- by far -- than any player in history.
Zipping to 300 homers does not guarantee future career records. The record Judge set (300 homers in 955 games) previously belonged to Ralph Kiner, who needed 1,087 games.
