Moments after Aaron Judge smacked his record-breaking 62nd home run of the season on Tuesday night, the son of the man who previously held the AL single-season HR record for 61 years congratulated the Yankees outfielder on his accomplishment, and took a dig at the all-time league record holders.
“Congratulations to Aaron Judge and his family on Aaron’s historic home run number 62! It has definitely been a baseball season to remember. You are all class and someone who should be revered. For the MAJORITY of the fans, we can now celebrate a new CLEAN HOME RUN KING!!,” Roger Maris Jr tweeted.
Judge tied Maris with 61 home runs on Sept. 28 in a game against the Blue Jays in Toronto, surpassing Babe Ruth 60 homers from 1927.
