URGENT UPDATE: New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge has just smashed his 362nd home run, taking sole possession of fourth place on the franchise’s all-time home run list. This milestone was achieved during a thrilling game at Fenway Park against the Boston Red Sox on September 15, 2023.
In a stunning display of power, Judge launched the second pitch he faced from Boston’s Lucas Giolito over the iconic Green Monster in left-center field. This remarkable achievement comes just one game after Judge tied the legendary Joe DiMaggio with his 47th home run of the season, which he hit against the Red Sox on the anniversary of the September 11 attacks.
Judge’s latest home run marks a significant moment in his career, as he reached this milestone in just 1,130 games. By contrast, DiMaggio accomplished his 361 homers over the course of 1,736 games, retiring in 1951 after a celebrated 13-year career that included a three-year hiatus for military service during World War II.
This season, Judge’s impressive performance has elevated his batting average to .324, making him a leading contender in Major League Baseball. He broke a tie with Yogi Berra for fifth place on the Yankees’ all-time list earlier this week, and is now trailing only the greats Babe Ruth (659), Mickey Mantle (536), and Lou Gehrig (493).
The energy at Fenway Park was palpable as fans celebrated this historic moment. Judge’s journey reflects not only his exceptional talent but also the deep connection he has forged with Yankees supporters, who have rallied behind him throughout his career.
Looking ahead, all eyes will be on Judge as he continues to chase more records this season. With each swing, he not only adds to his legacy but also inspires both current players and the next generation of baseball stars. Fans are eagerly anticipating how many more home runs he will hit before the end of the season, making every game a must-watch.
Stay tuned for more updates as Judge’s historic season unfolds and the Yankees strive for success in the playoff race!
