Aaron Judge created history after tying Roger Maris, he joins him as legends of this storied franchise, now the only men in its history to hit 61 home runs in a single season. Home plate umpire Brian O’Nora, after the game, extended his congratulations towards Judge just outside the Yankees dugout, and handed him the official line-up card from the night.

Surprisingly, now the only players in MLB history with more home runs in a season are Barry Bonds (73), Mark McGwire (70, 65) and Sammy Sosa (66, 64, 63) — all of whom accomplished theirs during the steroid era (1998 to 2001).
