Aaron Judge Climbs Yankees' All-Time Home Run List, Surpassing Legend Yogi Berra
Aaron Judge made franchise history on Tuesday, September 10, 2025, launching his 359th career home run for the New York Yankees. This solo shot against the Tigers, which initially gave the Yankees an early 1-0 lead, moved him past legendary catcher Yogi Berra (358) into sole possession of fifth place on the team's all-time home run list. Manager Aaron Boone lauded Judge's consistent performance, stating he's in "rarified air" among Yankees greats like Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle, Lou Gehrig, and Joe DiMaggio. Judge expressed his appreciation for joining such an elite group, calling it "pretty special" to pass an "all-time great Yankee." Despite the personal milestone, the Yankees suffered a 12-2 loss, with Judge acknowledging the bullpen's struggles but maintaining trust in his teammates. The team looks to rebound in their ongoing series against the Tigers.
