Aaron Judge and Ben Rice have formed an incredibly formidable duo.<\/p>\n

In fact, they’ve been so potent that this hasn’t been matched since 1995.<\/p>\n

Judge and Rice each have 12 home runs through 35 team games, with Rice getting to a dozen by homering on Sunday.<\/p>\n

There hasn’t been a set of teammates with 12 homers apiece through 35 team games since 1995, according to MLB Network’s Sarah Langs<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The most recent duo was with the 1995 Cleveland Indians: Manny Ramirez and the you–didn’t-guess-this-guy half, Paul Sorrento.<\/p>\n

The 1994 Colorado Rockies<\/a> did it, too, with Ellis Burks and Andres Galarraga.<\/p>\n

Before that, you had to go back to 1959, when Eddie Mathews and Henry Aaron did it with the Milwaukee Braves.<\/p>\n

The first time it ever happened was with the 1956 Yankees — Mickey Mantle and Yogi Berra.<\/p>\n

Yep, Judge and Rice are just the fifth set of teammates to do it.<\/p>\n

Everyone knew what Judge could bring.<\/p>\n

The Yankees probably felt they knew what Rice was capable of, but even they have to be thrilled with how this is going.<\/p>\n

Rice is special, for sure, and obviously Judge is, too. In fact, they’re historic.<\/p>\n
