New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge hit his 61st home run Wednesday, tying Roger Maris’ single-season American League home run record Sunday, set in 1961.
The New York Yankees slugger crushed the record-tying home run in the 7th inning off Toronto Blue Jays’ Tim Mayza, sending it over the wall at Rogers Centre. Maris set the AL record in 1961 while playing for the New York Yankees. Judge, 30, has already matched Babe Ruth’s total from over 90 years ago and could still surpass Maris’ 61-year-old record, sealing his spot among the all-time batting greats.
He told reporters, “I haven’t really been thinking about numbers or stats and stuff like that,” Judge said. “I’m going out there trying to help my team win.” Judge is the sixth player in Major League history to hit at least 60 home runs in a single season.
