Aaron Judge Fastest To 300 HRs, Reaching In 955 Games
Aaron Judge hit his 300th home run on Wednesday night in the New York Yankees\' 10-2 win over the Chicago White Sox.
\"It\'s a great achievement,\" Judge said. \"Like I said a couple days ago, I was hoping it would come in a win. It came in a big win for us. We were down for a little bit, couldn\'t get much going, so I was just excited it was there in a big moment.\"
Judge hit the mark in his 955th game and 3,431st at-bat with a three-run drive in the eighth inning -- reaching the milestone faster than any other player in Major League history.
Ralph Kiner reached 300 homers in his 1,087th game, and Babe Ruth did it in his 3,831st at-bat.
\"Those are some guys that have done a lot of great things in this game,\" Judge said. \"You throw around a lot of those names to people who don\'t know baseball and they know who they are. It\'s a special group to be in.\"
