Move over, Roger Maris: New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge has hit his 62nd home run of the 2022 MLB season, setting the single-season record for the American League.
His 62nd home run -- which came in the Yankees' final series of the regular season -- moved him past Maris, who held the previous Junior Circuit record with 61 home runs in 1961. Judge also broke Maris' famed franchise record -- previously set by Babe Ruth when he hit 60 in 1927. Now, Judge joins Ruth and Maris as the only AL players to hit 60 or more home runs in a season.
