NEW YORK — Joe DiMaggio, you’re next.
New York Yankees star Aaron Judge tied DiMaggio for fourth on the franchise’s all-time home runs list at 361 with his second home run against the Detroit Tigers on Thursday night at Yankee Stadium.
Judge tied the Hall of Famer with a no-doubt shot to left-center field in the third inning off Tigers reliever Sawyer Gipson-Long, going 434 feet at 114.9 mph. In the first inning, he homered to center field off Tyler Holton. Judge has 46 home runs on the season.
It was more history for the 33-year-old Judge, who passed Hall of Fame catcher Yogi Berra for fifth on the franchise home run list Tuesday.
DiMaggio, a center fielder, won nine World Series titles with the Yankees. He made the All-Star team in all 13 seasons he played, and he won a trio of MVP awards. He retired at age 36 in 1951.
