Aaron Judge Blasts 362nd Career Homer, Surpassing DiMaggio for Fourth in Yankees History

New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge made history on Friday night, September 12, 2025, hitting his 362nd career home run. This 468-foot solo shot over the Green Monster in the first inning off Boston's Lucas Giolito gave the Yankees a 1-0 lead and moved Judge past Hall of Famer Joe DiMaggio for sole possession of fourth place on the franchise's all-time list. Judge achieved this milestone in just his 1,130th game, significantly fewer than DiMaggio's 1,736 games. This was his 47th homer of the season, raising his major league-best batting average to .324. He also contributed to the offense by drawing a seven-pitch walk and scoring the Yankees' second run later in the game, having previously surpassed Yogi Berra for fifth place earlier in the week.
