New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge made baseball history with his 62nd home run of the MLB season, breaking Roger Maris' American League home run record that stood for over six decades.
Judge smashed the record-breaking ball in the first inning against the Texas Rangers. He hit the dinger in the leadoff spot, his fourth career home run from that position, all coming this year according to ESPN Stats and Information. He now sits alone at seventh on the all-time single-season home runs list.
The historic feat only adds to Judge's sensational season.
