New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge has made MLB history— again.

Entering Wednesday's game against the Chicago White Sox, Judge, sitting at 299 home runs for his career, was on the doorstep of the 300-home run club, of which 161 players are in. Judge became the 162nd, belting a three-run home run in the eighth inning of Wednesday's 10-2 victory. He became the fastest player in MLB history to reach 300 career home runs, having done so after just 955 games, surpassing the previous record, 1,087 games, set by Ralph Kiner back in 1953.
