"You know what? I haven’t thought about it yet," head coach Brian Daboll told reporters during his Monday video call. Graveman tried to slip an 0-2, 97 mph sinker past Judge but left it up in the zone, and Judge drilled into the second deck in left field . Of course, Ruth only played 151 games in his 154-game schedule, leading one to wonder what he might have done with an extra eight games.
Aaron Judge’s 58th home run was an opposite field shot. The celebration was much more muted for Judge – with the slugger still needing one more homer to tie Roger Maris’ American League record, and the Yankees still needing three runs to tie the Pirates.

Aaron Judge's 62nd HR ball sells for $1.5 million
You can see a list of supported browsers in our Help Center. Instead, Youmans, who is a financial adviser for Fisher Investments in Dallas, got half of that at the auction, which had six recorded bids, the final of which was for $1.25 million. Combined with a $250,000 buyer’s premium, that resulted in the final price. Youmans did not comment on the sale price in his statement.
Another thing Canseco accomplished was luring fans to the ballparks an hour or so before the games. They wanted to see the home run spectacle during his batting practice. I went to a game with my family at the old Arlington Stadium when the Oakland Athletics had come to play my Texas Rangers.
Mets shockingly land Correa after Giants deal falls apart
After a stretch of seven games without a home run, Judge finally did it, crushing a ball into the left field bullpen at Rogers Centre in Toronto to tie Roger Maris’s American League record, set in 1961. I, like almost all, had never been in attendance when a player hit his 60th home run of the season. At the time, witnesses to that accomplishment were limited to those in attendance at one of the eight games where the revered baseball milestone had previously been reached. Jeter then hit a walk-off shot on a full count in the bottom of the 10th to even the series 2-2. The game started on Halloween but Jeter’s homer came after midnight, making it the first dinger in MLB history hit in the month of November.
With all the players that have taken steroids, you might as well give up on baseball. I just don't know what your problem is about steroids. I gave my position and gave examples, but you just keep coming back to knee jerk no steroids. Will it ever matter to these players if they don't make it to the Hall of Fame after they've earned hundreds of millions of dollars in their career?
What Aaron Judge thinks of Yankees’ other big offseason move
Another taken pitch out of the zone would have sent nearly all that remained to the subway or parking garage, safely behind the eighth-inning departees already on the Cross Bronx Expressway. It doesn’t get any more special than hitting a walk-off home run to win the World Series. For what it’s worth, the Blue Jays were up 3-2 in the series, although they trailed 6-5 in the bottom of the ninth when Carter stepped to the plate. Unfortunately, rather than baseball celebrating an incredible accomplishment, Maris was the victim of some serious backlash for having the gall to break Ruth’s record. Undeterred by the stress that caused his hair to fall out prematurely, Maris hit No. 61 on the last day of the season against Red Sox pitcher Tracy Stallard. Throughout history, games that end with a home run are always more memorable than games that end with a base hit or a great defensive play.
Maris' biggest hot streak was a stretch from May 28 to June 22, when he hit 19 homers in 29 contests. Judge also broke Maris' famed franchise record, previously held by Babe Ruth, who hit 60 in 1927. Now, Judge joins Ruth and Maris as the only AL players to hit 60 or more home runs in a season. Trying to find some offense for the Yankees, Manager Aaron Boone put Judge in the leadoff spot for a day game against Tampa Bay. Armstrong missed with a 94-mile-per-hour sinker out of the zone and then tried the same pitch again. Judge hit an absolute moonshot to left for his 53rd homer of the season and his fourth in his last six games.
In terms of accomplishments, Jose Canseco was the first player to ever get 40 home runs and 40 stolen bases in a single season. He also hit the longest home run ever seen in Toronto's Skydome. The fact that everyone else was cheating doesn't justify what Jose did. He's a farce, a cheat, a bully, and an occasional violent criminal.
If you factor in game importance -- mid-September, with the Tampa Bay Rays having clawed closer to the Yankees -- this home run deserves a higher ranking. Oh, in the top of the 10th, the Red Sox intentionally walked Judge with a runner on third and two outs. It backfired, as Gleyber Torres would later smack a three-run double, and the Yankees won 7-6. Judge’s first homer of the season came off José Berríos of the Toronto Blue Jays on April 13. Judge joined Lou Gehrig and Jerry Mumphrey as Yankees to homer on their 30th birthdays. Judge homered twice against Baltimore on May 23 but the Yankees lost.
One of the coolest Statcast numbers found at MLB's Baseball Savant site is how each batter fares against different pitches, broken down into overall run value produced. Judge’s seventh-inning homer on May 12 traveled 456 feet. Serving as the team’s designated hitter, Judge had two hits, including a homer in the eighth, but it was not enough in a 4-2 loss. “I told him I have to quit taking him for granted,” Manager Aaron Boone said after Judge hit a three-run home run in the 10th inning to give the Yankees a huge win over Houston.
Steinbrenner told Judge his favorite players were Thurman Munson and Willie Randolph, both former captains named by George Steinbrenner. If all it takes is a spark to get on a hot streak, let's hope that Sunday's win over Washington is just what the doctor ordered. The New York Giants took care of business Sunday night against the Washington Commanders, boosting their chances to qualify for their first postseason berth since 2016. The global tennis season begins in Perth where the best male and female tennis players compete side-by-side on RAC Arena.
