Aaron Judge Blasts 62nd Home Run, Sets Yankees, A.L. Record!

Aaron Judge has actually made history … the New York Yankees super star slugger simply knocked his record-breaking 62nd crowning achievement of the year.

Judge, with simply 3 video games staying in the routine season, led off the 2nd leg of a day-night doubleheader with a blast to left field at Globe Life Field in Arlington, TX.

With the crowning achievement, #99 passes late Yankees star Roger Maris … who struck 61 HR’s in 1961.

In truth, numerous members of Maris’ household were on hand to witness the historical minute.

Now, the million-dollar concern (actually) is who captured the ball … and do they trade it back to AJ? A souvenirs specialist formerly informed us the ball might be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars or more.

The record wasn’t simply the Yankees’ high mark — it was likewise the very best ever by an American League gamer … that is till about 10 minutes back when 30-year-old, 6’7″ Judge stepped to the plate.

Longballs aside, Judge — who will be a complimentary representative next year — has actually had among the very best offending seasons ever. AJ has actually knocked in 131 runs, batting leadoff much of the time, all while batting .310. He likewise has 176 hits and scored 132 runs.

Of course, Sammy Sosa (66), Mark McGwire (70) and Barry Bonds (73) all struck over 62 dingers in the N.L. … however their professions (and the record) have actually been polluted by accusations of using performance-enhancing drugs.

Because of that, lots of baseball perfectionists think the real crowning achievement record is now held by none aside from Aaron Judge.
