Aaron Judge ties Yogi Berra for fifth on Yankees’ home run list with encouraging blast
NY Post
CHICAGO — It ain’t over till it’s over, but Aaron Judge is now even with Yogi Berra.
Judge pulled into a tie with Berra for fifth on the all-time Yankees home run list, crushing the 358th of his career on Sunday afternoon before falling to the White Sox 3-2 at Rate Field.
“To get a chance to tie one of the greatest, if not the greatest, Yankees in homers, it’s pretty special,” said Judge, who has 43 homers this season. “The way Yogi played the game, what he meant to pinstripes, you knew how much it meant being a New York Yankee to him. I feel the same way. I’m honored to wear this jersey, so it’s pretty cool to be on that list with him.”
Up next is Joe DiMaggio at 361, though it will take a few more seasons to reach the rest of the leaderboard of Lou Gehrig (493), Mickey Mantle (536) and Babe Ruth (659).
“It’s the company he belongs in,” manager Aaron Boone said. “He’s certainly earned his way into those rarefied air names with the career he’s put together so far.
“He’s as good as we’ve seen in this generation.”
