Aaron Judge continues to write his name in the history of the Yankees. The outfielder hit his 362nd major league home run on Friday, a solo shot in the first inning against the Boston Red Sox that allowed him to surpass Joe DiMaggio and become the fourth all-time home run hitter in the franchise.

One day earlier, Judge had tied the legendary "Yankee Clipper" with 361 home runs. Now, with this new hit, only Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle, and Lou Gehrig appear ahead of him on the Bronx team's all-time list.

An achievement with a historic flavor

The detail that accompanies the record did not go unnoticed: DiMaggio also hit the last home run of his career against the Red Sox, in 1951. More than seven decades later, Judge is once again writing a chapter in baseball's most intense rivalry.

The 33-year-old captain's offensive production has been remarkable this season. He leads the Major Leagues with a .324 batting average and a 1.120 OPS. He also has 28 doubles, 47 home runs, 101 RBIs, and 104 walks in 137 games played. In his last 15 games, his offensive line has slashed .347/.500/.796, a testament to his great form.

Judge had already surpassed another historic player this week: Yogi Berra. On Tuesday, he surpassed the legendary catcher on the franchise's home run list.

The slugger's impact isn't measured solely by individual numbers. Thanks to his contributions, the Yankees lead the entire Major Leagues with 762 runs scored and 250 home runs so far in 2025.
