It is not every day that a baseball player stands 6-foot-7, never mind an elite player. But early in his career, it was clear that Judge was a future star.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>His assault on the record books did not take long. <a href=\"https:\/\/clutchpoints.com\/mlb\/new-york-yankees\/yankees-news-roger-maris-jr-s-message-to-aaron-judge-after-breaking-his-dads-hr-record\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Judge broke Roger Maris\u2019 record;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Judge broke Roger Maris\u2019 record<\/a> for the most home runs in American League history with 62 home runs in 2022.<\/p>\n<p>And on Thursday night, he made another piece of history.<\/p>\n<p>The Yankees are hosting the Detroit Tigers in a potential playoff preview. With New York leading 3-1 in the bottom of the third, Judge took Tigers reliever Sawyer Gipson-Long <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ClutchPoints\/status\/1966292920673202661\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:deep for his second home run of the night;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">deep for his second home run of the night<\/a>. More importantly, it was the 361st of his career.<\/p>\n<p>That tied the legendary Joe DiMaggio for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.statmuse.com\/mlb\/ask?q=yankees+all-time+home+run+leaders\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:fourth most in franchise history;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">fourth most in franchise history<\/a>. Judge now trails only Babe Ruth (659), Mickey Mantle (536), and Lou Gehrig (493).<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>Just for good measure, his teammate, Giancarlo Stanton, also went deep two batters later.<\/p>\n<p>The Bronx Bombers are flexing their muscles in the final game of a three-game set. The Yankees are looking to salvage the final game after being absolutely demolished 12-1 and 11-1 in the first two games of the series.<\/p>\n<p>But this game\u2019s importance goes beyond just avoiding a sweep.<\/p>\n<p>Entering the night, the Yankees are tied with the Boston Red Sox atop the AL Wild Card race. The two rivals are set to kick off a three-game series this weekend in Boston.<\/p>\n<p>Both teams were 3.5 behind the Toronto Blue Jays in the AL East. However, Toronto already won earlier Thursday, defeating the Houston Astros, 6-0.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>If Judge continues to see the ball as well as he appears to be doing right now, the division is very much up for grabs.<\/p>\n<p>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/clutchpoints.com\/mlb\/new-york-yankees\/yankees-news-donald-trump-aaron-judge-muscle-reaction\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Donald Trump\u2019s amazed reaction to Yankees slugger Aaron Judge\u2019s \u2018muscle\u2019;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Donald Trump\u2019s amazed reaction to Yankees slugger Aaron Judge\u2019s \u2018muscle\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/sports.yahoo.com\/article\/yankees-anthony-volpe-suffered-torn-005837508.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:Is this when the Yankees\u2019 Anthony Volpe suffered torn labrum in May?;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Is this when the Yankees\u2019 Anthony Volpe suffered torn labrum in May?<\/a><\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The post Yankees star Aaron Judge ties Joe DiMaggio in New York history with mega bomb appeared first&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":220370,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5122],"tags":[3090,5229,102712,1281,1885,10626,2382,405,403,2228,5226,5225,5228,5227,120084,1290,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-220369","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york","8":"tag-aaron-judge","9":"tag-america","10":"tag-baseball-player","11":"tag-boston-red-sox","12":"tag-detroit-tigers","13":"tag-giancarlo-stanton","14":"tag-houston-astros","15":"tag-new-york","16":"tag-new-york-city","17":"tag-new-york-yankees","18":"tag-newyork","19":"tag-newyorkcity","20":"tag-ny","21":"tag-nyc","22":"tag-sawyer-gipson-long","23":"tag-toronto-blue-jays","24":"tag-united-states","25":"tag-united-states-of-america","26":"tag-unitedstates","27":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","28":"tag-us","29":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115190323315910128","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/220369","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=220369"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/220369\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/220370"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=220369"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=220369"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=220369"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
