Aaron Judge. What a player. Leading off the second game of the doubleheader, Judge blasted his record-breaking 62nd home run to break the tie with Roger Maris for most home runs in a single season in Yankee and American League history. It’s an offensive season that I’m not sure any of us will see again in our lifetimes. Let’s also not forget that Gerrit Cole broke Ron Guidry’s single-season franchise record for strikeouts, his nine in yesterday’s contest bringing his season total to 257. They may have lost, but for one game out of 162, this one was about individual achievements, so congratulations to both men.
