Yankees' Aaron Judge breaks 6-way tie on all-time MLB leaderboard

It's always fascinating to see where Aaron Judge ranks on various MLB all-time leaderboards.

The New York Yankees' slugger is one of the best hitters ever, but he arrived in the majors later than most, so some of his counting stats are a little lower than you might expect.

One of those categories where that's definitely true: walks.

Judge took a base on balls on Monday night against the San Francisco Giants, the 818th of his career. 

That ranks Judge 254th in MLB history, but maybe most entertaining is that in drawing that single walk, Judge broke a six-way tie at 817 career walks. The other five guys are all retired.

The guys Judge had been tied with?

Fielder Jones, Ryan Klesko, Carlos Pena, Nick Swisher and Dixie Walker.

Klesko, Pena and Swisher are all likely known at least a bit by modern baseball fans, as they played relatively recently. Swisher even played part of his career for the Yankees.

Fielder Jones? He was born in 1871 and was a 1906 World Series champion with the Chicago White Sox. He was ahead of his time with the amount that he walked. Jones also played for Brooklyn in the National League, which at the time changed names from the Grooms to the Superbas. And he closed his career as a player-manager in the short-lived Federal League with the St. Louis Terriers.

How about Dixie Walker? He was a four-time All Star who began his career with the Yankees, then played for the White Sox, Tigers, Brooklyn Dodgers and Pirates from 1931 through 1949. He won the batting title during the war in 1944 when he hit .357. He also had a season he led the league in triples, and another he led the league in RBI.

Anyway, that's your fun trip through baseball history.

Judge should keep climbing the walk charts in no time, but for now, he just left those five players behind.
