NEW YORK – Up in the Yankees’ public address booth, Paul Olden’s significant consecutive games streak ended this weekend. The club’s P.A. announcer since the new Yankee Stadium opened in 2009, Olden is taking time off due to a personal obligation, according to a team statement.

The New York Yankees' superstar hit his 350th career homer on Saturday. No one has ever reached 350 as fast as Judge. In fact, it hasn't been close. MLB Network's Sarah Langs shared that Judge has reached 350 home runs in 192 fewer games than anyone else ever has.

Judge, who is hitting .358 following a 3-for-4 afternoon, also easily can claim the most homers of any player through 1,088 games — 50 more than Hall of Fame slugger Ralph Kiner. His 35 homers this season represent the most by a Yankee before the All-Star break, eclipsing his previous best of 34 from one year ago.
