Aaron Judge Adds A New Chapter To His Home Run Resume
Aaron Judge has officially homered in every active Major League ballpark.
The Yankees’ slugger crossed the final stadium off his list Friday night with a towering shot at Coors Field, launching a solo home run to center field in the sixth inning. It came in his first career game at the hitter-friendly park and marked his 17th long ball of the season.
For a player who has made a habit of making the league look small, this was a milestone that had quietly eluded him, only because it was his first career game here.
Coors Field, with its thin Denver air and reputation for gaudy offensive numbers, might seem like a place Judge would’ve checked off his list long ago. The last time the Yankees were in Denver, however, Judge was coming off a foot injury.That all changed Friday, when he wasted little time in leaving his mark.
The home run, a no-doubter off Rockies starterTanner Gordon, traveled an estimated 365 feet. Short work for Judge, but it's a start in the first game of three in the thin air of the Mile High City.
It was also part of a broader power surge. Judge has now hit seven home runs in May alone. Since dipping below .400 for the first time in two weeks on Thursday, he’s responded by making history yet again.
With Coors Field finally crossed off his list, Judge now holds at least one home run in all 30 active stadiums. He joins a select group of active sluggers to have homers in all 30 stadiums, including former teammate Juan Soto and current teammate Giancarlo Stanton. Carlos Santana, Manny Machado, and Randal Grichuk have also homered in all 30.
