Tracking New York Yankees star Aaron Judge's chase for 62 home runs

Baseball history is on the horizon as Aaron Judge tied Roger Maris' American League record of 61 home runs with seven games remaining in the season.

The New York Yankees outfielder came one step closer to breaking the record Wednesday night against the Toronto Blue Jays. Judge has had an outstanding season at the plate, batting .314 and logging 130 RBIs. He is one of the reasons New York is among MLB's elite this season.

Judge needs only one home run to break Maris' 1961 record -- a mark that has stood for six decades and, until Mark McGwire hit 70 in 1998, was the single-season MLB record.
