On the next-to-last day of the 2022 MLB regular season, Aaron Judge finally did it.
The Yankees slugger hit his 62nd home run of the year on Tuesday night against the Rangers at Globe Life Field, moving past Roger Maris to set a new American League record. The historic feat drew plenty of applause from throughout the baseball world—and even beyond.
Count the current president among those impressed by Judge’s accomplishment.
Joe Biden tweeted out his congratulations to Judge following the momentous occasion, wishing him well after he put an end to a nearly weeklong homerless streak following his 61st blast last week.
