Aaron “Judge became the quickest player to reach 300 career home runs, doing so in 955 games and eclipsing Ralph Kiner’s mark of 1,087 games. He also did it in the fewest number of at-bats, achieving the task in 3,431. It took the previous record holder, Babe Ruth, 3,830 at-bats to get there.”
As Mike Lupica puts it: “Even Yankee haters love watching Aaron Judge stand in there. More than anyone, he makes Yankee-hating difficult the way Jeter and Joe Torre and Mariano Rivera and all the rest of Torre’s Yankees did. Judge makes it seem cool to root for the Yankees again.”
