MLB sluggers are on a roll; Dominicans included

The regular season of the MLB has about a month to go. Aaron Judge is mesmerizing baseball fans as he continues on the path to the all-time home run record of 62. He has 54. Judge needs to hit seven home runs in New York Yankee’s final 27 games to match Roger Maris’ American League record of 61 home runs in a season.

Meanwhile, Albert Pujols recently hit his 695th career home run and now is just five from the 700 homerun historical benchmark. Only three sluggers in history have hit more home runs than Albert Pujols. These are Barry Bonds (762), Hank Aaron (755), Babe Ruth (714) and fellow Dominican Alex Rodriguez (696).

Other Dominican sluggers having a good 2022 season are:

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. – Toronto Blue Jays (27)
Willy Adames – Milwaukee Brewers (26)
Manny Machado – San Diego Padres (26)
Jose Ramirez – Cleveland Guardians (26)
Rafael Devers – Boston Red Sox (25)
