Slugger Aaron Judge broke the American League home run record on Monday when he hit his number 62 in the same first inning as his Yankees started 1-0 ahead of the host Texas Rangers.
Judge, 30, punished Venezuelan right-hander Jesus Tinoco with his bombshell. With the home run he broke Roger Maris’ record of 61 homers, also with the Yankees since 1961.
Judge had tied the 61-year-old mark of 61 set by the Yankees legend with a homer last Wednesday in Toronto.
Maris’s mark had been the MLB record until broken multiple times by Sammy Sosa (66 in 1998) and Mark McGwire (70 in 1998) in the 1990s during baseball’s famous steroid era in late 2000s. The 1990s.
However, Barry Bonds, implicated in the BALCO drug scandal, set the major league single-season record with 73 home runs in 2001. The Yankees, headed for the playoffs, end the season on Wednesday.
