For nearly a week, the baseball world has waited with bated breath for Aaron Judge to hit his 62nd home run of the season. On Tuesday, the wait finally ended.
Judge blasted his historic homer in the first inning of the second leg of Tuesday’s doubleheader against the Rangers, giving him the most home runs in a single season in American League history and the seventh most in MLB history. The ball was a highly sought-after prize for fans in the stands hoping for it to be hit their way—so much so that one fan risked injury leaping to come down with it.
