MLB Plans 2025 Home Run Derby Uniforms Honoring Aaron, Ruth in Atlanta

The 2025 MLB Home Run Derby and All-Star Game will be held on July 14 and 15 in Atlanta, with the dates numerically corresponding to the historic home run totals of Babe Ruth (714) and Hank Aaron (715). Hall of Famer and MLB special assistant CC Sabathia inspired a tribute where players will wear special All-Star weekend uniforms honoring Ruth and Aaron, recognizing their legacy in Atlanta where Aaron broke the home run record. This homage is notable as it marks a return to pre-2018 tradition of derby-specific uniforms, linking the event to the sport’s rich history. Meanwhile, New York Yankees star Aaron Judge recently hit his 350th career home run, and projections indicate he could join the elite 500-home run club by 2028 or early 2029, barring injury. The MLB continues to celebrate its historical milestones while showcasing current players poised to make their own mark on the game.
