Aaron Judge smashed 52 home runs as a rookie for baseball’s glamour franchise in 2017, making him a no-brainer selection for the American League rookie of the year last November and the cover of MLB The Show 18 this spring. And yet in the game’s first trailer, he gets upstaged by another New York Yankee with a far longer resumé in power hitting: George Herman Ruth.

The Babe’s last video game appearance was 13 years ago as an unlockable all-time great in EA Sports’ beloved MVP Baseball 2005 for PlayStation 2 and Xbox. So this will be the first opportunity to see Ruth hit in new Yankee Stadium, built in 2009, whose playing field dimensions are the still the same as The House That Ruth Built in 1923.
