Aaron Judge And Shohei Ohtani Make MLB History

The New York Yankees star and Los Angeles Dodgers player both hit home runs at their respective first at bats of the game.

Major League Baseball stars Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani made history over the weekend.

During a rematch of last season’s World Series, the New York Yankees star and Los Angeles Dodgers player both hit home runs at their respective first at bats of the game.

It’s the first time reigning MVPs have hit homeruns in the opening inning of the same game.

Judge’s 446-foot hit was his 19th home run of the season tying him with Kyle Schwarber for third in the majors.

Ohtani’s was a 417-foot homer on the first pitch in front of a sellout crowd of over 53,000.

Barry Bonds of San Francisco and Miguel Tejada of Oakland were the first reigning MVPs to homer in the same game, including the World Series, on June 30, 2002.
