The wait is over.
Yankees’ Aaron Judge slugged his American League record-setting 62nd home run tonight in Texas.
With simply two video games left to set the AL mark, and transfer forward of Yankee nice Roger Maris, Judge led off the second sport of a double dip at Globe Life Field in Arlington with a shot into the left-field stands off Rangers righty Jesus Tinoco.
Judge had been sitting on 61 homers since Sept. 28.
The home run ball was caught by a fan sporting a Rangers cap within the left-field stands who’d introduced his glove. After catching the coveted ball, the fan proceeded to high-five all these round him.

Here’s what Judge stated after hitting dinger No. 61.
“It’s pretty incredible,” Judge stated that night time. “There’s a lot of things Babe Ruth did that I definitely couldn’t do. Getting a chance to sit at 60 for a while there with the Babe was nice. Getting a chance to sit at 61 with another Yankees right fielder that hit 61 home runs, won MVPs, and was a world champion, it’s pretty cool.”
The Major League report for homers in a season was set by Barry Bonds in 2001 with 73.
