It’s been 61 years since Roger Maris captivated the baseball world with 61 home runs in 1961. Now, Maris has some company in pinstripe lore.
Aaron Judge launched his 61st home run of the season on TK against the TK, tying Maris for the American League record. The monumental blast came in the TK inning off pitcher TK, and moved Judge past Babe Ruth on the single-season home run list.
Judge’s 61st home run came in the Yankees’ TK game of the season and Judge’s TK. Maris famously broke Ruth’s record on the final day of the ’61 season.
