Yankee Aaron Judge Just Set the Record For Achieving 300 Home Runs In the Least Number of Games--955

 

In history and in sports the number 300 often denotes notable events to claim
Most of us are aware of Sparta and the 300 Spartans at Thermopolis who flushed Xerxes’ dream of quick conquest of the Greek City States down the drain
And avid bowlers are motivated to score 300 pins and achieve a perfect game
In baseball a .300 batting average and 300 home runs deserves a special amount of fame
For home runs not measured in numbers as many players have ended up with more home runs
Rather the fame is achieved on how many games played to reach the 300 are done
Ralph Kiner used to have the record of hitting 300 home runs in 1087 games
But Yankees Aaron Judge has put that record to shame
Hitting his 300^th in game number 955
Which for many years may as a record survive
He is such a home run hitting machine he is often intentionally walked
Which may be the only way to another 60+ home run season to block
His home run pace has lined his wallet with millions of dough
But fans get their money’s worth when he lights up the game with his home run shows
