JUDGE IS THE YANKEES SINGLE SEASON HOME RUN KING!

 

Quick note just because it's timely. We have a new home run king in New York, and it's Aaron Judge.

"Aaron Judge hit his 62nd home run of the season Tuesday night, breaking Roger Maris’ American League record and setting what some fans consider baseball’s “clean” standard.

AARON JUDGE HAS DONE IT!

The 30-year-old Yankees slugger drove a 1-1 slider from Texas right-hander Jesús Tinoco into the first couple of rows of seats in left field when leading off the second game of New York's day-night doubleheader."

With that, Roger Maris Jr., whom I just really appreciate and admire, put this tweet out:

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!!

Say it again Roger... say it again.  

Congrats to Aaron. You are applauded. No one better!
