Juan Soto Has Now Homered In All 30 Current Ballparks 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Wed Sep 18, 2024 12:47 pm

Juan Soto hit a two-run home run in the New York Yankees\' 11-2 win over the Seattle Mariners at T-Mobile Park on Tuesday night.

T-Mobile Park was the last current ballpark Soto hadn\'t homered in, a goal he had when coming to the Yankees.

\"It’s a great feeling for me; so many different ballparks, so many different dimensions,” Soto said. “I just want to get all of them checked in. What a way to go into free agency, with all 30 ballparks checked on my list.\"

The home run was Soto\'s career-high 40th of the season and the 200th of his career.

He and Judge are now the third pair of Yankees teammates with 40 or more homers in the same season, joining Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig (1927, \'30, \'31) and Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris (1961).

As talented as Soto is, he is only focused on money. His comments about heading into free agency speaks volumes.

I'm not even a Yankee fan, but to walk away from NY and Judge is crazy. The two of them can become the stuff of legend.
