Aaron Judge keeps on climbing.

That's what happens when the New York Yankees' 6-foot-7 superstar launches another home run. He moves up the all-time MLB home run record list just a bit more.

On Saturday, Judge homered for the second time in as many games. This one gave him 370 for his career.

With 370 career home runs, Judge is tied for 83rd all time. He's knotted with Brooklyn Dodgers legend Gil Hodges.

Hodges actually then spent time with the Los Angeles Dodgers, and with the New York Mets at the end of his career, but he was a beloved figure for "Dem Bums" in Brooklyn.

Hodges would've likely hit some more home runs if he didn't miss two years to serve in the military during World War II, as well.

To emphasize Judge's pacing, though, he reached 370 homers in just more than 5,000 plate appearances. Hodges had more than 8,000.

Judge is coming up on his teammate next. Paul Goldschmidt ranks 82nd all-time with 372 career home runs. Unless Goldy can hit some more here soon, Judge will be right on his tail in a hurry.

Sometime sooner rather than later, people are going to start calculating when Judge can get to 500 homers. It's only a few seasons away if he keeps up some of the prodigious power he's had throughout his career.

There have been a lot of special Yankees sluggers. And each time he takes the field, Judge pushes himself even more into that conversation of all-time greats.
