New York Yankees star Aaron Judge continues to cement his legacy among MLB's most storied franchise.
With a two-run home run against the Los Angeles Angels on Thursday night, Judge tied former Yankees catcher Jorge Posada on the franchise's all-time home run list.
Judge and Posada now rank eighth on the Yankees' all-time home run list with 275 dingers.

Next up on the franchise list is another legend from the dynasty in the late-1990s. Centerfielder Bernie Williams sits seventh on the list with 287 career home runs with the Yankees.
Judge has been on an incredible tear for the month of May. There's a good chance he winds up earning Player of the Month honors because of it.
For the entire month of May, Judge leads all MLB players in fWAR (2.7), home runs (12), OPS (1.350) and wRC+ (266). His fWAR is a full point higher than the next player on the list (Jose Ramirez - 1.7).
Judge made history during the month of May, becoming the only player in MLB history to record at least 12 doubles and 11 home runs during any 20-game span.
The Yankees will end the month of May with the best record in the American League, and much of that has been due to the resurgence of The Captain.
