Roger Maris has been on the mind of Yankees’ fans a lot this season. With Aaron Judge making a run at and eclipsing Maris’ AL record 61 home run season of 1961, his name has been brought up a lot. From family members attending games as Judge was closing in on the record, to the various TV networks showing highlights of Maris’ milestone homers, he’s never been far from view during September Yankees’ games.
The reason all that’s happened has been Judge’s season, which has been a memorable one. Even beyond the home runs, there’s probably a bunch of performances from this year that you could recall.
