After a bit of a wait, Aaron Judge made history on Wednesday by tying Roger Maris’s all-time American League record 61 home runs in a season.
The Yankees star hit his 61st home run 61 years after Maris achieved the feat in 1961.
Ever since Judge hit his 60th home run of the season on Sept. 20, which tied Babe Ruth, Roger Maris Jr. has been in attendance waiting for the young Yankees outfielder to tie his late father’s record.
At the last few games, Maris Jr. has sat next to Judge’s mother, Patty, in the front row.
