It was a 434 foot blast to left-center. When the real Stadium closed in ‘08, the fence out there was 408. In the ‘80s, it was 430, so he still would’ve cleared it. But yeah, in the days when the Yanks were winning titles by the dozens, Death Valley was closer to 500 feet.
Sorry — the article at the top said it was 413 feet.

Judge homers again, tying Joe DiMaggio with Trump looking on
By Samuel Chamberlain
At this rate, President Trump will be asked to come back for every Yankees game until the season ends.
Aaron Judge hits his second solo home run in as many at-bats after shaking hands with the president in the clubhouse before the game.
This home run — Judge’s 46th of the season and a 434-foot shot — gives the Yankees a 4-1 lead in the bottom of the third.
It is also Judge’s 361st career home run, tying him with Joe DiMaggio on the all-time list.
