Aaron Judge passing Joe DiMaggio on all-time Yankees HR list was more historic than you think

Lucas Giolito's first pitch of Aaron Judge's latest history-making at-bat was a gorgeous slider, which broke over the outside corner and ended up in the left-handed batter's box, a swinging strike. Before the next pitch, Carlos Narvaez set up high and tight, but it leaked over the middle of the plate, a belt-high fastball, which Judge crushed 468 feet out of Fenway Park and onto Landsdowne Street.

It was a busy week for Judge, who passed Yogi Berra for fifth all-time on the franchise home run list, then Joe DiMaggio for fourth to open the weekend.
