New York Yankees superstar Aaron Judge will have the unique opportunity to break a record set by Bartolo Colon

Aaron Judge has signed a long-term deal to remain with the New York Yankees, poising him to make a special form of history.

According to MLB analyst Tom Verducci, Judge can become just the second player to weigh over 270 pounds and is over the age of 37 to hit a home run. This, of course, assumes that Judge will still be playing at that weight when he reaches 37. Given his height, it is possible.

A surprising part of this record is who he would join in the record books. It would be none other than pitcher Bartolo Colon. Colon hit one home run in his entire 21-year MLB career. The home run was absolutely electric and one of the best moments of the decade for baseball.

Journalist Anthony Castrovince shared a comment from Tom Verducci on Twitter.

Incredible note from Tom Verducci on @MLBNetwork: Judge is 282 pounds and will be signed through his age-39 season. He'll have a chance to become just the second player ever to hit a home run at 270 pounds or more and at age 37 or higher.

The other was Bartolo Colon.
