Aaron Judge Sets Fastest 300 Home Run Record

Aaron Judge became the fastest player in MLB history to hit 300 career home runs, achieving this milestone in his 955th game during the Yankees' 10-2 victory over the White Sox. Judge's historic homer, his 43rd of the season, came after the White Sox intentionally walked Juan Soto, who has also been on a remarkable hitting streak. Judge's three-run shot was part of a late-game surge that saw the Yankees score nine runs in the seventh and eighth innings. Juan Soto, who has hit four home runs in his last five at-bats, continues to be a significant contributor to the Yankees' offensive success. The victory solidified the Yankees' lead in the AL East, while the White Sox continued their historically poor season. Judge and Soto's exceptional performances put them in rarefied company, drawing comparisons to legendary Yankees like Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig.
