Yankees’ Aaron Judge on verge of making more home run history
NY Post
Aaron Judge’s homer on Sunday wasn’t just his MLB-leading 42nd of the season.
It also brought him to within one of becoming the fastest player ever to hit 300.
No. 299 came in Sunday’s 8-7 win over the Rangers and it came in Judge’s 952nd career game.
Ralph Kiner reached the 300 milestone in his 1,087th game, meaning Judge has nearly a full season’s worth of games to break Kiner’s record, according to Elias.
Judge wasn’t especially interested in looking ahead after Sunday’s win.
“If it comes with a win, it’ll mean something,’’ Judge said. “It’s not what we play for. I just want to put us in a good position.”
