How the Shohei Ohtani-Aaron Judge clash in the World Series has already made history before a pitch was thrown
With Game 1 set to be played on Friday, much has been made of the upcoming clash between megastars Shohei Ohtani and Aaron Judge for the biggest of prizes. However, the pair have already made major league history, just by qualifying for the Fall Classic with their respective teams.
For the first time in big league history, two players with 50+ home runs will battle it out at the grandest stage. Judge finished his regular season in the AL with 58 home runs, while Shohei Ohtani finished his NL campaign with 54.
After hitting an incredible 62 home runs in 2022, the 2024 season was the second-best season of Judge's career in terms of homers. On the other hand, Ohtani complemented his 54 home runs with 59 stolen bases to become the first-ever player to enter the 50-50 club in big league history. Now, both have a chance to cap off their spectacular individual seasons with the perfect finishing touch.
