On Sunday, Judge hit the 358th home run of his career in a game against the Chicago White Sox. This tied him with Yogi Berra for fifth all-time in Yankees' history. For reference, Judge became the first hitter to jump into the top five of this list in nearly seven decades.
With 25 games left in the season, Judge might not be done just yet.
Not only can Judge pass Berra with his next home run, he has moved within shouting distance of the great Joe DiMaggio, who is fourth on the list with 361 home runs.
Judge, who now has 43 home runs this season, has a chance to end the season fourth on the all-time list for the Yankees. Moving forward, his sights will be set on different milestones and that includes 500. If he is able to reach this number, Judge will be just the third Yankee ever and pass Lou Gehrig, who is currently third with 493 home runs.
Judge still has six years remaining on a nine-year, $360 million contract extension signed in 2023. He will need 142 home runs to reach 500, which is an average of 23.6 per year for the remainder of his contract -- and that does not include what he does for the rest of this season.
The real question is, how high will Judge go?
The journey to reach Mickey Mantle at No. 2 is more challenging. Judge is currently 179 home runs behind Mantle, which would come out to nearly 30 home runs per year over the next six years.
Is it impossible? No, but it is definitely a challenge when thinking about potential production heading into his late-30's.
For now, the two-time AL MVP has a chance to get into the No. 4 slot by himself by the end of 2025. What we know is that when you find yourself on a list with Mantle, Gehrig, DiMaggio, Berra, and of course Babe Ruth, you are destined for Monument Park.
