Aaron Judge made more baseball history Tuesday when he launched his 62nd home run of the season on a 1-1 count in the first inning against Texas Rangers pitcher Jesús Tinoco, breaking Roger Maris' record for home runs in a single season in the AL.

The Yankees' slugger is now the fourth player in Major League Baseball history to hit 62 home runs in a season. Judge will be forever linked to these game-changing sluggers who also crushed 61 home runs or more: Barry Bonds, Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa and Maris.

More than six decades ago, Maris broke Babe Ruth’s then-MLB record of 60 home runs in the Yankees’ 163rd game of the season by crushing Boston Red Sox pitcher Tracy Stallard's 2-0 pitch to deep right field at Yankee Stadium.

Sitting beside Patty was Roger Maris Jr., who, just like Judge’s mom, had been attending every Yankees game, patiently waiting for the special occasion.
