Aaron Judge joins baseball’s history books after surpassing Roger Maris’ record for home runs
Aaron Judge is a baseball player on his way to becoming a sports legend. The baseball outfielder for the New York Yankees completed his 62nd home run surpassing Roger Maris’ record in an American League single season.In the first inning, the 30-year-old athlete sent the ball into the left-field seats at the Texas Rangers‘ Globe Life Field, just at the third pitch of the night. Juge’s victory comes after tying Maris’ 61st home run.The late Yankees slugger broke the home run record 61 years ago in 1961, and although it can be considered a coincidence, fanatics believe this is a great way to honor the iconic right fielder.The magical moment was witnessed by Maris‘ son, Roger Maris Jr., who was in the stands sitting next to Judge’s mother, Patty.
