ARLINGTON, Texas—Aaron Judge hit his 62nd home run of the season on Oct. 4, breaking Roger Maris’s American League (AL) record and setting what some fans consider baseball’s “clean” standard.
The long chase to top a mark set in 1961 ended when the 30-year-old Yankees slugger drove a 1–1 slider from Texas right-hander Jesús Tinoco into the first row of seats in left field leading off the second game of New York’s day-night doubleheader.
