Ryan Field breaks down Judge's accomplishments this season.New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge hit his 61st home run Wednesday, tying Roger Maris' single-season American League home run record set in 1961.
After the game, when speaking to the YES Network, Judge said it was "tough to describe" how he was feeling being able to share the achievement with his teammates. He added that it meant a lot to have his mother in attendance. "I haven't really been thinking about numbers or stats and stuff like that," he told reporters. "I'm going out there trying to help my team win."
"I keep saying over and over, Aaron Judge; everyone should just watch and take notice," Yankees head coach Aaron Boone said last week after Judge hit his 60th home run. "I can say this because I've lived this, and he's shown this: he puts his focus on being a great teammate and winning. He knows everything else will take care of itself."
