BOSTON – Judge Aaron of the New York Yankees hit his 362nd home run Friday night, breaking the tie with Hall of Famer Joe DiMaggio and finishing fourth on the franchise's all-time roster.
After two home runs tied DiMaggio with Donald Trump at Yankee Stadium to a game after commemorating the September 11th attack anniversary, the Yankees captain hits the green monster he saw from Boston's Lucas Giolito on the left central field at Fenway Park.
