Aaron Judge doesn’t just hit home runs—he breaks historical barriers. The Yankees captain crushed his 359th long ball in the big leagues, moving past none other than Yogi Berra on the team’s all-time home run leaderboard. That swing placed Judge sixth in franchise history, overtaking an icon and inching closer to the most sacred names in New York baseball.
The milestone came during a matchup against the Seattle Mariners, where Aaron Judge once again showed that his power doesn’t take days off. The blast helped seal a win for the Yankees, but more importantly, it reaffirmed his role as both emotional and athletic leader of the squad. According to The New York Post, the outfielder had already passed legends like Jorge Posada and Bernie Williams. Now, his sights are set on Joe DiMaggio, who sits fifth with 361 homers.
A turbulent season
The 2025 campaign has been anything but smooth for the Yankees. Injuries, inconsistency, and media pressure have shaped the narrative. But Aaron Judge remains the steady beacon. Despite missing several games in the first half of the year due to muscle issues, he returned with force—delivering clutch hits and keeping postseason hopes alive.
Passing Yogi Berra is no small feat. Berra, beyond his 358 home runs, symbolizes a golden era of baseball. With 10 World Series titles and a personality that transcended the sport, he left an indelible mark. That Aaron Judge has now eclipsed him in the game’s most iconic stat—the home run—speaks volumes about his consistency, durability, and ability to perform under pressure.
Staying the course
At 33, Aaron Judge still has ground to cover. If he keeps up his pace, he could soon catch DiMaggio and continue climbing toward Lou Gehrig, Mickey Mantle, and Babe Ruth. But beyond the numbers, Judge is building something deeper: a legacy. One written with every swing, every roar from Yankee Stadium, and every record that falls.
in the Bronx, legends aren’t manufactured—they’re earned. And Aaron Judge, with every blast, keeps earning his place among the immortals of one of MLB’s most storied franchises.
