Paul Goldschmidt has been getting the job done for the New York Yankees, and now he's etched his name into the franchise record books in a big way.

At 38 years and 241 days old, Goldschmidt became the oldest player in Yankees history to hit a leadoff home run. The milestone came on Saturday against the Milwaukee Brewers, when the veteran slugger turned on a pitch to give the Yanks an early 1-0 lead.

While the previous record holder wasn't officially confirmed, it's widely believed to be none other than Derek Jeter, the iconic Yankees captain known for setting the table at the top of the order for nearly two decades.

Goldschmidt isn't your typical leadoff hitter, but the Yankees have been using him in that spot against left-handed starters, taking advantage of his right-handed bat. It's a strategy that paid off in a big way this weekend.

There's something extra special about setting a Yankees franchise record. With a lineup of legends like Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Joe DiMaggio, and Mickey Mantle having passed through the Bronx, any new mark in pinstripes carries serious weight.

Goldschmidt may not have played his prime years in New York, but he was one of the best hitters of his generation with the Arizona Diamondbacks and St. Louis Cardinals. Now in the closing chapter of his MLB career, he's adding a memorable Yankees milestone to his Hall of Fame resume.

Whether he's batting first or in the heart of the order, Goldy keeps getting the job done.
