New York Yankee Aaron Judge on Wednesday matched the record set by Roger Maris with his 61st home run of the season.
The single-season American League home run record was set by Maris, a Yankee sporting the No. 9 jersey, in 1961. Judge, No. 99, matched the record 61 years later during an 8–3 win over the Blue Jays at Rogers Centre in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
A video shared by Twitter user @pucksindeep41 shows the home run hit. “There it is,” a voice can be heard saying as the crowd goes wild.
After the game, Judge, 30, presented the historic ball to his mother, Patty, per reports.
