Aaron Judge Hits 300th Home Run in Record Time

On August 14, 2024, New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge made history by hitting his 300th career home run during a game against the Chicago White Sox, doing so in just 955 games, the fastest pace in MLB history. His three-run homer in the eighth inning contributed to the Yankees' 10-2 victory and marked Judge's 43rd home run of the season. This achievement places him ahead of legends like Babe Ruth and Ralph Kiner, who reached 300 homers in significantly more games and at-bats. Judge has become the seventh Yankee to hit 300 home runs, joining an elite group that includes Mickey Mantle and Lou Gehrig. Despite injuries in previous seasons, Judge's power and consistency have solidified his status as one of baseball's top players. His milestone not only enhances his legacy but also excites Yankees fans about his future potential.
