Aaron Judge Ties Yogi Berra on Yankees HR List in Urgent Showdown

UPDATE: In a thrilling moment during the game on August 27, 2023, Aaron Judge has officially tied Yogi Berra for fifth place on the New York Yankees’ all-time home runs list, hitting his 358th career homer in a tight 3-2 loss to the Chicago White Sox.

Judge’s monumental homer came in the first inning, with manager Aaron Boone shouting “Yogi!” as he returned to the dugout, marking a significant milestone for both Judge and the storied franchise. “Not getting (the win) kind of stings,” Judge stated. “But to tie one of the greatest Yankees is pretty special. I’m honored to wear this jersey.”

His solo shot, clocking in at an impressive 112.6 mph and traveling 426 feet, not only showcased his power but also highlighted the emotional connection he shares with the Yankees’ legacy.

Judge, 33, also had a solid performance overall, contributing with a double and a single throughout the game. He was recently activated from the injured list on August 5 and has been a critical asset to the team since returning. “Just missed the last one,” Boone said, reflecting on Judge’s near-miss for another homer in the ninth inning.

This achievement marks the first change in the Yankees’ top five home run leaders since Mickey Mantle hit his 203rd career homer in 1957, illustrating the significance of Judge’s milestone. The all-time Yankees home run leaders remain Babe Ruth (659), Mickey Mantle (536), Lou Gehrig (493), and Joe DiMaggio (361).

Looking ahead, the Yankees are gearing up for a critical series against playoff contenders, starting with a three-game set against the Houston Astros on Tuesday night. “We want to play the best teams, especially getting down the stretch here into the postseason,” Judge emphasized, driving home the urgency of the upcoming games.

With the Yankees in a tight race for playoff positioning, every moment counts. Judge’s historic achievement not only cements his place in Yankees history but also intensifies the excitement surrounding the team as they push for postseason success.

As the season progresses, all eyes will be on Judge and the Yankees to see how they navigate the challenges ahead, making this a pivotal moment for fans and players alike.
