Aaron Judge put a definitive stamp on one of the great single-season performances by any hitter in baseball history. On Tuesday, October 3, 2022, Aaron smashed his 62nd home run of the year to eclipse Roger Maris’s long-standing American League record and topple one of the most hallowed numbers in all of the sports.
Aaron Judge leads the MLB with 62 home runs this season.
The American professional baseball outfielder Aaron Judge for the New York Yankees of Major League Baseball was unanimously selected as the American League Rookie of the Year in 2017 and finished second in voting for the AL Most Valuable Player Award that year.
He was adopted the day after he was born by Patty and Wayne Judge, who both worked as teachers in Linden, California.
When Aaron was 10 or 11 years old, his parents told him that he was adopted; he recalls, “I knew I didn’t look like them.” He has an older brother, John, who was also adopted. Judge is biracial.
