Yankees' Aaron Judge breaks record tie with Joe DiMaggio by blasting home run out of Fenway Park image

Aaron Judge has leapfrogged two of the greatest players in New York Yankees history this week.

He now resides alone in fourth place on the storied franchise's all-time home run leaderboard.

Judge passed Yogi Berra early in the week, then broke a tie with Joe DiMaggio on Friday night at Fenway Park.

The 6-foot-7 superstar did it in style, blasting a homer out of the ballpark entirely for the 362nd of his career (and 47th this season).

Berra had 358 in his career. DiMaggio had 361. And now Judge is at 362 and counting.

The Yankees' all-time home runs leader is Babe Ruth, who hit 659 of his 714 homers while wearing a Yanks uniform.

Mickey Mantle is the Yankees' other member of the 500-home run club. He finished his career with 536 of them.

Lou Gehrig got to 493 homers before his career was cut short.

Judge is now 131 home runs behind Gehrig and 174 behind Mantle.

At this point, would anyone bet against Judge climbing this leaderboard some more? 

There's some work to do, for sure. But if anyone can pull it off, it's the big slugger wearing No. 99 and launching baseballs out of Fenway Park.
