MLB Makes Historic Aaron Judge, Rafael Devers Announcement During Yankees-Red Sox

The New York Yankees rivalry with the Boston Red Sox runs as deep as any in the history of sports. A rivalry rooted in over 100 years of tension, stemming from the sale of one of the greatest baseball players to ever live, Babe Ruth.

The Yankees-Red Sox rivalry has seen a plethora of Hall of Famers square off in some of the most heated battles in the history of Major League Baseball. And the latest iteration of this fierce matchup came and went this weekend, culminating in a Sunday Night Baseball showdown on ESPN.

While the Red Sox were in town to take on the Yankees, most baseball fans filled Yankee Stadium to see one man, hit baseballs really far. That man is the reigning American League MVP, Aaron Judge.

While the Yankees would lose this three-game series to the Red Sox, two games to one, Judge did not disappoint. In fact, both team's offenses came to play, as they combined to score 50 total runs during the series.

On Sunday night, however, Judge, and Red Sox designated hitter, Rafael Devers, launched themselves into identical places in the history books of Yankees-Red Sox.

Judge hit two home runs during Sunday's 11-7 loss to the Red Sox, a two-run home run in the first inning and a solo home run during the ninth inning. Devers hit a solo shot as well during the ninth inning.

Both ninth inning blasts were No. 30 for Judge and Devers against the opposing team. This made each man the second fastest players to reach this mark in the history of Yankees-Red Sox. MLB was quick to make the historic announcement.
