New York Yankees star Aaron Judge recently made history by tying with AL most home runs in a season recorded by Roger Maris. The outfielder hit his 61st homer of the season, 61 years after the previous record. In game number 155 for the Yankees, All Rise hit his 61st home run on September 28 while playing against the Toronto Blue Jays.

Judge went seven straight games keeping his fans hanging before hitting his 61st, and nobody for sure knows how long will it take for the slugger to hit the record-breaking homer. As soon as he hits it, he will become the next title holder of AL’s most home runs in a season.
But that does not seem to be happening for a while now. Meanwhile, fans who are expecting him to hit another and more home runs are now getting angry. A short clip of the Yankees v/s Orioles game was posted on Twitter, wherein the fans lashed out at Judge.
What made the fans lash out at Aaron Judge?
Aaron Judge was at bat as Orioles pitcher Kyle Bradish pitched to him. What may or may not Judge have thought during that time, he did not swing. Which then led to him walking to the first base.
Lmao Judge did not wanna take this walk at all pic.twitter.com/HJZwRy0iZz

As soon as he got told to walk, his posture changed, as he dropped the bat to remove his foot guards and walked. Not for one second did it look like he wanted to take that walk, but he had to. Meanwhile, Yankees fans’ expectations from Judge are not changed. They still want Judge to hit 62, but sooner. And they are apparently becoming very restless as well.
Judge is having a tremendous season this year, and he has already crossed the target he set for himself. All Rise predicted to hit 50, which he did before August ended, and now 62 is the minimum target set by others for him.
What did the fans have to say about Judge?
Was that a strike though?
That’s a strike

That usually gets called a strike on him as well.
Of all the times for it to be called a ball…— Jakob Dillon (@JDillonDoesIt) October 2, 2022
