ARLINGON, Texas – Aaron Judge is the American League Home Run Champion.
The New York Yankees led off last night’s game against Texas with a solo shot to left, giving him 62 homers for the season and breaking Roger Maris’ 61-year-old AL record.
The ball, which was caught by Dallas financier Cory Youmans, is reportedly worth upwards of $2 million.
Despite the historic homer, Texas went on to win the game, 3-2.
The Rangers (67-94) will wrap up their season Wednesday afternoon when they host the Yankees (99-62) again at 3:05 p.m.
