New York Yankees star Aaron Judge is on the type of hot streak that doesn't come around often. In fact, it's never been done before in MLB history.
After his first-inning home run off San Diego Padres starter Dylan Cease on Saturday night, Judge made some impressive history.
The Yankees captain is the only player in MLB history to record at least 12 doubles and 11 home runs in any 20-game span, according to Katie Sharp.
