Aaron Judge / Roger Maris

Back in 1961, New York Yankees outfielder Roger Maris set the single-season American League, and MLB mark at the time, with 61 longballs. On Wednesday night, another Yankees outfielder, Aaron Judge, became the first American League player to reach that mark in 61 years. With seven games left in the regular season for his Club, Judge is poised to break the record and take the top spot on the single-season American League home runs list.
