Aaron Judge: 10th to hit 50 Home Runs in multiple seasons, third Yankee.

Yesterday in 2022 Yankee game 129 (78-51-0) Aaron Judge hit Home Run (HR) number 50 this season. Judge hit 52 HR in his 2017 rookie season.

Here are the ten players to hit at least 50 HR in a season multiple times sorted by the number of times, then year of the last. Leading the league is BOLD; McGwire's 58 led MLB but not either AL or NL as he split his HR between them in 1997.

Ruth, Foxx, Kiner did all of theirs in the 154 game schedule. Mantle (1956) and Mays (1955) did only their first in the 154 game schedule.
