MLB: Aaron Judge Obliterates MLB Record, Becomes Fastest to 350 Home Runs—Shattering Mark McGwire's by 192 Games

 Aaron Judge Just Did What No One Else Could—Not Even McGwire 

NEW YORK — In the Bronx, greatness doesn’t just happen—it launches into the night sky. Yankees megastar Aaron Judge made history on Saturday, crushing the 350th home run of his career in the ninth inning of a 5-2 loss to the Chicago Cubs. But this wasn’t just another big fly—this one shattered the record books.

Judge became the fastest player in Major League Baseball history to reach 350 home runs, doing it in just 1,088 games. The previous record holder? Mark McGwire, who needed 1,280 games to get there. That’s 192 games slower—a massive gap in a sport where records are often broken by inches.

“I don’t know what to say about it. He is playing in a different league, really,” Yankees manager Aaron Boone said postgame. “The fact that it’s nearly 200 games faster is just a testament to his greatness.”

Even Judge, normally cool and composed, admitted he was momentarily speechless.

“It would have been great if we got a win today,” Judge said, “but I’ve had a lot of great teammates who’ve helped put me in a position to perform. This is really a shoutout to all of them.”

Interestingly, Judge has had conversations with the man he just surpassed. McGwire and Judge began talking around 2020, bonding over similar rib injuries rather than long balls. “[McGwire] asked, ‘How did I heal?’ and I gave some tips,” Judge shared. “We’ve kept in touch. He’s been great.”

This milestone came with another powerful stat: Judge’s 35th homer of the 2025 season—tying him for fourth-most home runs in MLB history before the All-Star break. Leading the charge this year is Mariners slugger Cal Raleigh with 38, just one shy of Barry Bonds’ all-time pre-break record of 39.

While the Yankees couldn’t deliver a win, Aaron Judge gave fans something far bigger—a historic reminder that baseball’s modern titan wears pinstripes.
