2024 season just reached a huge milestone! On Wednesday night, he hit his 300th career home run against the Chicago White Sox, surpassing the legendary Babe Ruth. The stage was set in the eighth inning against the White Sox. With the Yankees leading, Judge stepped up and hammered a 3-0 sinker from reliever Chad Kuhl into the left-field bullpen. This marked his 43rd home run of the season, a three-run blast that set the crowd on fire and an MLB record in itself. The MVP contender reached the mark in just 955 games, that’s a full 132 games quicker than the previous record holder, Ralph Kiner, who took 1,087 games to get the same mark.

The 32-year-old Yankees star continues to make baseball history with every achievement, from hitting 49 home runs before July to now surpassing Ruth’s home run count in far fewer at-bats, Judge is always compared to the greats. But he has now separated himself for the comparison, as he reached his 300th home run in just 3,431 at-bats means he did it nearly 400 at-bats faster than Ruth, who hit his 300th in 3,183 at-bats.
