Tracking New York Yankees star Aaron Judge's chase for 60-plus home runs

Baseball history could be on the horizon as Aaron Judge approaches the elite mark of 60 home runs.

The New York Yankees outfielder came one step closer with his 53rd homer on Sunday at the Tampa Bay Rays. The Yankees outfielder has had an outstanding season at the plate, batting .299 and logging 115 RBIs. He is one of the reasons New York is among MLB's elite entering the stretch run.

Judge is also on the verge of making Yankees history, only needing 9 more dingers to break Roger Maris' 1961 record of 61 home runs in a season -- a mark that has stood for over six decades.
