Aaron Judge

Aaron Judge hit his 60th home run Tuesday night, matching Babe Ruth and moving within one of Roger Maris' American League season record.

“For me, anyway, that was a good one to shoot for.” And on Tuesday, Judge got there, a place very few others have reached. Asked repeatedly in recent weeks about his chase of Maris (or Ruth), Judge has often demurred and pointed to his focus on winning. When he was with the Miami Marlins in 2017 and won the National League M.V.P. He had three games remaining in the regular season to reach 60 and didn’t get there. Reflecting on the moment later, Lawson added, “I’ll pass away and there’s going to be generations that are gone that will still be talking about Aaron Judge the way that they talk about these Yankees legends.” The result is a season for the ages. Over 600-700 at-bats in a season, when you have that power and you get two extra at-bats per series, you add that up.” An already elite bat speed coupled with an improved bat path through the strike zone has meant even more home runs — left, right and center — on all sorts of offerings. He’s been so consistent, not just on the field but in the clubhouse.” Bonds holds the major-league record, with 73 home runs in 2001, but, like Sosa and McGwire, he has been tied to performance-enhancing drug use during an era before steroid testing began. His home run also started a rally — four batters later, Giancarlo Stanton delivered a walk-off grand slam, giving the Yankees a In baseball’s long history, only five players had hit that many home runs in a season.

Judge, who led a comeback vs. the Pirates, is now one home run away from tying Roger Maris' AL record.

Judge and the Yankees will continue their series against the Pirates on Wednesday. In other words, Judge might break the AL home run record while winning the second Triple Crown since Carl Yastrzemski in 1967. Judge is in pursuit of another swath of history, too: he entered the evening ranked first in the AL in home runs and runs batted in, and just one point behind the league leader (Luis Arraez) in batting average. As noted above, Judge is now tied with Babe Ruth for the second-most home runs in a season, either for a Yankee or an American League player. Believe it or not, Judge may not have had the most significant home run of the inning. Judge, who sparked a ninth-inning rally in a 9-8 win, is now tied with Babe Ruth for the second-most in both respects.

Aaron Judge is one home run away from history. The Yankees slugger launched his 60th homer of the year Tuesday night against the Pirates to move within one ...

Judge would also be the first Yankee to capture the Triple Crown since Mickey Mantle in 1956. After Tuesday’s game, Judge owns an AL-best .316 batting average and 128 RBIs, putting him in position to become the first AL Triple Crown winner since Miguel Cabrera in 2012. The 30-year-old four-time All-Star is also the sixth player in MLB history to reach the 60-homer mark. “Damn, I wish I would’ve done that with bases loaded a little earlier in the game,” he said when asked what his initial reaction was to No. “So I was kind of kicking myself while I was running around the bases like, man you idiot, you should’ve done this a little earlier. But the team picked up and we were able to pull that win out.”

Aaron Judge is officially on the brink of history, as he hit his 60th home run. He now sits one away from Roger Maris' New York Yankees and AL record.

“(He’s) not just a slugging DH.’’ “I really didn’t want to do it,’’ Judge said. It was Stanton's first homer since Sept. “We’re losing. AARON JUDGE HOME RUN WATCH: Aaron Judge hits home run No.

Judge will certainly get more than the seven-year, $213.5 million offer he received from New York in April.

If [Freddie Freeman](/mlb/players/1630079/freddie-freeman/) can leave the [Braves](https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/teams/ATL/atlanta-braves/), Judge can absolutely leave the Yankees. And when the Angels and Dodgers put eight years on the table, the Yankees went to nine. Now it appears eight years and $37 million per season covering 2023-30 ($296 million total) could be what it'll take just to get your foot in the door to discuss a contract. The bottom line is once Judge hits the market and actually becomes a free agent, the chances he returns to the Yankees go down. The next owner could want to grab headlines the way the [Padres](https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/teams/SD/san-diego-padres/) did in 2015, under their new ownership.

Cashman said they included the opt out to give Sabathia peace of mind, that if he didn't enjoy his time in New York, he could leave (Sabathia later leveraged that opt out into an extension). If Judge wants the ability to re-enter free agency at age 33 or 34 (or later), then let him. Given the season he's having, Judge has all the leverage he needs to request a contract that takes him through age 39, similar to Betts. Teams accept the bad years at the end for the elite years up front, and Judge is the best hitter in the sport right now.

This one has been a long time in the making. Only three players in MLB history have hit more than 700 homers, and their names are familiar to even the most half-hearted of baseball viewers: Barry Bonds, Hank Aaron and Babe Ruth. Judge leads already in homers and RBIs, and his .316 batting average is currently just .001 behind the leader. On Tuesday night, Judge hit his 60th home run of the season, firing a 430-foot shot off the Pittsburgh Pirates' pitcher Wil Crowe. In two decades, no player has come as close to breaking it as the New York Yankees all-star outfielder Aaron Judge has this year. And Albert Pujols of the St.

Judge’s 60 homers are tied for the second-most in Yankees and American League history with Babe Ruth, who hit as many in 1927. It put him just one home run shy of the Yankees record Roger Maris set in 1961. Judge’s blast sliced the Pirates’ lead to just 8-5.

Judge's 60th homer matches Babe Ruth's single-season high · Yankees star leads major leagues with 128 RBIs for season.

“I got to believe it’s right there with some of the best very short list of all-time seasons.” Judge walked up and down the dugout to receive congratulations and then emerged from the dugout steps and ever so briefly tipped his helmet to fans. “He did what he was supposed to do with it,” Crowe said of Judge, “3-1 count, I’m not going to put him on. Judge is on pace for the AL’s first Triple Crown in a decade, leading in home runs, RBIs (128) and batting average (.316). I think the whole team lost its mind and the stadium erupted.” “I kind of lost my mind,” said Judge, one homer shy of matching Roger Maris’ American League season record.

Josh Donaldson also accomplished the feat this season, defeating the Rays on August 17 with a "One of those really magical innings," Yankees manager Aaron Boone said after the victory. It was New York's seventh walk-off home run of the year, matching their franchise record (set back in 2009).

Aaron Judge, la star des New York Yankees, est devenu mardi le sixième joueur de l'histoire de la MLB à avoir inscrit 60 home runs dans une saison.

Puis, en 1998, Mark McGwire (St Louis) et Sammy Sosa (Chicago) s'étaient livré un beau duel pour s'approprier le record le plus envié de la MLB. Son record avait été battu en 1962 par Roger Maris (61). Et, lors de ce match, Aaron Judge, la vedette de la franchise new-yorkaise, a cogné son 60e home run de la saison.

Tuesday was only the 147th game for Judge’s Yankees — but he may be having too much fun to process his lofty place in team history. You can tell in the stadium, you can tell their pitcher doesn’t want to be the one to give it up. Ruth reached 60 in the Yankees’ 154th game in 1927, and Maris got there in their 159th game in 1961.

“It has lent a greater degree of confidence that the artifact is what it is supposed to be,” said Josh Rawitch, the president of the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in Cooperstown, N.Y. It was handed to a team official, who presented it to the fan in the stands. The ball was handed to Judge, who turned it over to Pecorale. When the stakes are lower than Judge’s home run binge, a ball taken out of play and authenticated in the third inning of a normal game can often be purchased at the team store by the seventh. (That will go on for the rest of the season, regardless of whether they have passed their milestones.) officials have attached the same kind of covert marking to every ball that will be pitched to him for the rest of the season to ensure that no nefarious actors can falsely claim they have a milestone-setting ball. “It allows us to verify some of the biggest moments in baseball history,” said Michael Posner, M.L.B.’s senior director for authentication and e-commerce. Gwynn, who could spot a counterfeit autograph as quickly as a hanging slider, noticed in the late 1990s that some items purported to be signed by him were forgeries. who put his stamp of approval on the ball and several other items that Judge asked to have authenticated.

Aaron Judge continues to chase to move past Roger Maris' American League season record for home runs as the New York Yankees take on the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Given his success, the team he plays for, and even his stature, it would be unfair to describe anything Judge is doing as under-the-radar. His 2022 season, barring a finishing slump of epic proportions, will go down as one of the best offensive campaigns of all time. If you want to say it deserves a place behind Bonds and McGwire, there’s an argument to be had there, but ultimately we’re still looking at a performance the likes of which is rarely seen. As much as the Yankees, and anyone who wears pinstripes, engender hatred among baseball fans across North America, that deserves to be appreciated.

Topics we covered on the show include: The latest SI Media Podcast features an interview with New York Post sports media columnist Andrew Marchand. The shot came in the ninth inning with the Yankees down 8–4 to the Pirates. Because while we wouldn’t expect the broadcaster for the opposing team to go bonkers over an opponent’s home run, you couldn’t have been more low-key than Brown. Yankees slugger Aaron Judge blasted his 60th home run of the season on Tuesday night.

Judge, the Yankees outfielder, is trying to tie and break Roger Maris's American League record for home runs in a single season.

(128 to José Ramírez’s 115), the batting title is the only part of the triple crown that is in question. That has been enough for him to pass Luis Arraez of the Minnesota Twins and Xander Bogaerts of the Boston Red Sox for the lead in the batting race. He has been pitching well, with four straight starts in which he allowed one earned run or less, but he has not pitched deep into games, with only one of those starts lasting a full six innings. The Yankees have been having Judge bat leadoff, so he will almost assuredly be the first person up in the bottom of the first inning.
