Aaron Judge hit the first home run of his MLB career the day after Alex Rodriguez retired. Now, the two are tied on the Yankees’ all-time home run list.
The New York Yankees' Aaron Judge needed 1,088 games to hit his 350th homer. Former slugger Mark McGwire reached the milestone in his 1,280th game.
