In one of the greatest seasons in major league history, Judge, the Yankees outfielder, has matched Maris’s American League record for home runs in a single season.
The ball from Aaron Judge’s 60th homer carried two markings — one of them invisible — authenticating it as the real deal. He will be pitched special baseballs for the rest of the season.
Judge joining Roger Maris and Babe Ruth as the only A.L. players with 60-homer seasons showed once again that no team does big moments quite like the Yankees.
