New York Yankees star outfielder Aaron Judge has made Major League Baseball history many times, and on Wednesday he did it again.

The 32-year-old hit the 300th home run of his career in his team’s 10-2 win over the White Sox in Chicago, reaching the milestone in fewer games than any other MLB player.

In the eighth inning, with the Yankees leading 6-2, Judge hit a three-run home run. As he crossed home plate and headed to the dugout, his teammates were there to celebrate.

Judge played his 955th career game. The player who previously held the record for fewest games with 300 home runs was Baseball Hall of Famer Ralph Kiner, who did so in 1,087 games.

Judge is the 162nd player in MLB history to hit 300 home runs in his career.

In 2022, Judge set a new American League record with 62 home runs in a season. Wednesday’s home run was Judge’s 43rd of the season, leading the league.

After the game, Judge said on Prime that he had hoped the milestone “would be achieved with a win.”

“It was great,” Judge said before being doused with cold water by his teammates. “Throughout the game, the guys had great hitting opportunities and great rallies to pass the baton to the next guy.”

The Yankees (72-50) had a half-game lead over the Baltimore Orioles in the American League East after Wednesday’s MLB games.
