Aaron Judge's 60th Homer Came In Huge Win for Yankees
Aaron Judge belts his 60th homer in the ninth inning and Giancarlo Stanton followed that up with the game-winning grand slam in the Yankees’ 9-8 comeback victory over the Pirates.
Judge’s latest homer left him one home run away from Roger Maris’ American League and franchise record of 61 set in 1961.
The Post captured Judge embracing his wife, Samantha Bracksieck, and mother, Patty Judge, after hitting his 60th home run of the season.
Judge’s monstrous blast into the left field bleachers in the ninth inning, takes over Babe Ruth’s single-season record and put him one behind Roger Maris’ all-time American League homer mark.
“I don’t think about numbers. You talk about Ruth, Maris, [Mickey] Mantle, the Yankee greats, you never imagine as a kid getting mentioned with them. It’s an incredible honor.” ~ Aaron Judge
The Yankees face the Pirates tonight in game two of the series at 7p.m. - in what could be Aaron Judge's 61st or 62nd home run of the season.
