Aaron Judge’s Place in Yankees Home Run History
When you get into a groove and start hitting 50-plus homers per season, you can ascend leaderboards quite quickly. That’s what the Yankees’ captain has done since his record-setting 2022 campaign.
He enters the 2026 season with 368 homers for the Bombers, which has him fourth on New York’s all-time list. Before he put the finishing touches on another MVP campaign last season, Judge nudged his way into the top five by sneaking past franchise legends like Joe DiMaggio and Yogi Berra.
The only dudes ahead of him? That’d include Babe Ruth (659), Mickey Mantle (536), and Lou Gehrig (493). So, there’s some work for Judge to do if he wants to keep leapfrogging dudes on the Yankees’ leaderboard, but he seems up for the task.
