The man who towers above nearly all of his peers on the field now sits alone atop his league’s single-season home run leaderboard.
Aaron Judge clobbered his 62nd home run of the year on Tuesday agains the Rangerrs, moving him past Roger Maris and in sole possession of the American League record for most homers in a single season. The historic shot came in the first inning against Jesus Tinoco.
Earlier this month, Judge became the first player to hit 60 home runs since 2001, when Barry Bonds (73) and Sammy Sosa (64) each accomplished the feat.
