CAMP HILL, Pa. — On Sept. 28 at Rogers Centre in Toronto, in the seventh inning of a game against the Blue Jays, on the eighth pitch of his fourth at-bat of his 151st game, the Yankees’ Aaron Judge hit a two-run home run. The ball traveled 394 feet, landing beyond the left-field wall. The home run was Judge’s 61st, tying the American League single-season record, which had been held by Roger Maris for 61 years and which Judge broke seven days later.
This is a story about the man who threw that pitch, and about things that can be seen and things that cannot.
Just freaking out
