Judge and Stanton join ranks of Ruth/Gehrig, McCovey/Mays as all-time homer-hitting duo

Baseball history has plenty of dynamic duos -- stellar players who are remembered together. Think Mays and McCovey, Ruth and Gehrig to name a few.

Part of how these duos get etched in the annals is by putting on a show. What better way to do so than by homering in the same game over and over again?

The active duo that’s done this more than any other teammate pair is Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton, who have been together on the Yankees since the start of 2018.

But they don’t just lead all active teammates, they’re also making their way up the all-time list.

Here’s a look at the most times homering in the same game by teammate duos in MLB history including playoffs, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.

1. Eddie Mathews and Henry Aaron, Braves: 76
While Aaron was hammering his 755 career home runs, Mathews was with him for many of them. The two were teammates on the Braves from Aaron’s debut season in 1954 through the 1966 season. The first time they went yard in the same game was April 25, 1954, when Aaron hit his second career homer. Their final combo effort was Aug. 31, 1965, his 394th. The Braves went 65-11 in the 76 games, which included 75 regular-season games and one playoff game -- 1957 World Series Game 4.

2. Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig, Yankees: 75
Ruth got to the Yankees in 1920. Gehrig debuted in 1923, playing 13 games, and played another 10 in 1924. But he became a Yankees staple in ‘25, the year his consecutive games streak began on June 1, though nobody knew what was to come. The two were teammates through the 1934 season. The first game where they both homered was Sept. 10, 1925. The last was June 3, 1934, with both that game and the first coming against the A’s.
