New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge is making history at a breakneck pace. After hitting 15 home runs in just 37 games, Judge is on track to finish the 2026 season with 65 home runs, surpassing his own American League record of 62 set in 2022, according to MARCA Usa. His current output matches his blistering 2022 start, where he also hit 15 home runs by game 38.

Historical Company

With 383 home runs in his career, Judge is just 17 away from 400, a milestone that has been reached by only the most legendary names in Yankees history, including Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle, and Alex Rodriguez. His latest home run. Hit on May 6. 2026, marked another chapter in a season that could solidify his place among the greatest power hitters of all time. At age 34, Judge is also projecting toward potential career totals of 500 or even 600 home runs, assuming he remains healthy, as reported by MARCA Usa.

Controversy in the Legal Sphere

While Judge’s on-field achievements are making headlines, the term ‘judge’ also appears in unrelated legal developments. In South Korea, a judge overseeing a corruption case involving the former first lady of South Korea, Kim Keon Hee, was found dead near the Seoul High Court on May 5, 2026, according to the Korea JoongAng Daily and Nate. Judge Shin Jong-oh, 55, was discovered by police after his family could not reach him. Authorities believe he committed suicide and found a note at the scene, but no mention of the case was included.

Shin had presided over the high-profile case that saw Kim sentenced to four years in prison for corruption, a significantly harsher sentence than the 20-month term given in the first trial. The case has sparked political controversy, with the ruling Democratic Party seeking to pass a special counsel bill that could allow the withdrawal of indictments in cases involving the president and his associates.

Legal Investigations in Andorra

Meanwhile, in Europe, an Andorran judge is investigating several Spanish LaLiga footballers for alleged involvement in the smuggling of luxury watches. Among those reportedly under investigation are Villarreal’s Thomas Partey and former players such as Santi Cazorla and David Silva, according to OneFootball. The inquiry involves a company accused of evading taxes by importing high-end watches into Andorra and reselling them to athletes to avoid value-added tax.

Andorran authorities have requested assistance from Spain’s Guardia Civil to question those involved. The investigation into ‘Best In Asociados’ and the alleged tax evasion has drawn attention from both legal and sports communities as the case unfolds.
