He hit his 60th of the season on September 20, tying Babe Ruth’s previous record that stood for 34 years before Maris belted his 61st in the very last game of the season.
Judge then tied Roger Maris’ record of 61 home runs in a single season on September 28.
Maris set the American League single-season home run record 61 years ago in 1961.

Ruth, Maris, and Judge were all members of the Yankees when they set their respective records.
The Major League Baseball single-season home run record still belongs to Barry Bonds, who hit 73 in 2001 for the San Francisco Giants.
The AL East Champion Yankees are playing their final series of the season in Arlington, Texas, against the Texas Rangers.
In the first game of Tuesday’s doubleheader, Judge had a moment of frustration when he slammed his helmet in the dugout after hitting a pop-up to end the fifth inning.

He then went on to hit his 62nd home run in the leadoff spot at the start of game two of the doubleheader.
But Judge wasn’t the only Yankee to make team history on Tuesday.
Pitcher Gerrit Cole also made history tonight when he struck out his 249th batter of the season.
Cole is now the Yankees single-season strikeouts leader, having beaten Ron Guidry’s 248 strikeouts in 1978.
