Aaron Judge is wreaking havoc in Major League Baseball this season. With 60 home runs already smashed from the plate, the Yankees fans are desperate to watch Judge hit the record-breaking 61st and 62nd home runs of the season.

Notably, Judge breaking the single-season home-run record in the American League is nothing but a celebration for the Yankees fans. And since he is just one big hit away from the historical record, broadcasters are not missing any chance to miss Judge’s at-bat. However, football fans might find this irritating.

Currently, Judge is on the verge of writing his name in the record book. If he manages to hit just two home runs this season, he will have the single-season AL home-run record in his name.
