“Pay Him a Billion!” – New York Yankees Fans Erupt as Aaron Judge Inches Closer to Home Run History
Follow Us
Aaron Judge is unstoppable. He doesn’t seem to have an off day. Every time he reaches the box, he entertains. And this time, as we approach the postseason, every home run means another broken record.
Markedly, Aaron Judge is chasing Roger Maris’ magic number, 61. Maris hit 61 home runs in 1961 for the NY Yanks and holds the record to date for most homers in a single American League season. Judge, now at 59, is approaching this magic number with every game he plays.

Fans React to Aaron Judge and his 58 and 59 homers
Last evening, as the Yanks took on the Brewers in the third and final dead rubber game of the series, Judge increased his homer count by two. The star outfielder looked calm, focused, and ready to hit. And that’s exactly what he did. Subsequently, this is how fans reacted to 58 and 59.

What’s crazy about Aaron Judge’s season is that he hit 1 home run through the first 12 games of this season.

Do you know what I love about the year Aaron Judge is having? He has 20 more home runs than the guy in second place. He’s having a season for the ages. 59 and counting. #YankeesTwitter

Anyone following the Yankees knows that the Yankees would not be in 1st place without Aaron Judge. Period.

I swear Aaron Judge is a throwback to a time when Mickey Mantle and Joe DiMaggio played.

My dad (a Mets fan) after Judge hit his second homer he walked into the living room saying “starting right fielder for the New York Mets, AARON JUDGE”, then i proceeded to beat his ass.

Aaron Judge is going to break the Maris AL record against the Red Sox this week isn't he… Hate to see it, but love to see it. What a season.

I'm still trying to come to grips with the fact that the White Sox team leader in home runs has 17 (Vaughn), and Aaron Judge just hit his 59th. It's like they're not even in the same competition.

Aaron Judge haters are now assuming he’s on PEDs 🥱

During the 2022 offseason, Judge and the Yanks failed to reach a common ground during a negotiation period. Consequently, Judge entered 2022 as a free agent with multiple bets placed on him.
