NEW YORK — In a moment that shook the entire MLB, New York Yankees superstar Aaron Judge has officially made history as the “Fastest player to hit 350 home runs in the history of the league”, after only 1,088 games.
The entire Yankee Stadium exploded when Judge’s 350th ball flew over the outfield fence – and that moment propelled him past a series of legends such as Babe Ruth, Alex Rodriguez and Ken Griffey Jr. to the top of the unprecedented list.
“History has just been rewritten by a man who doesn’t play to please others – he plays to dominate”
Pure power, unmistakable charisma, and the ability to decide a game with a single swing – Aaron Judge is steadily cementing his place as a modern-day icon of American baseball.
In 1,088 games, Judge:
Hit 350 home runs – an average of 1 HR every 3.1 games
Won MVP, multiple All-Stars
Leaded the league in OPS and SLG for multiple seasons
And most importantly: Inspired a generation of Yankees fans
The reaction from the pros: “We’re witnessing a modern-day Babe Ruth”
Famous commentator Jeff Passan called Judge:
“A physical and psychological phenomenon. No one over 6 feet tall can control a swing like that. This is a living legend.”
Yankees manager Aaron Boone was speechless:
“He’s not just the captain, he’s the heartbeat of this team. 350 home runs is just the start.”
Record Stats – Aaron Judge vs. Other Legends (Games to 350 HR):
Player Games to 350 HR
Aaron Judge 1,088 (FASTER)
Albert Pujols 1,211
Alex Rodriguez 1,207
Ken Griffey Jr. 1,267
Barry Bonds 1,264
At this rate, Aaron Judge could hit 500 HR in less than seven seasons – and even aim for Barry Bonds’ record of 762 HRs, which was once considered impossible in the modern era.
“I don’t play to beat anybody. I play because I love the game. But if history is in front of me… I’ll knock on the door.”
