Description: The definitive story (Tyler Kepner The New York Times baseball columnist) of Yankees slugger Aaron Judge's incredible unparalleled run to break Roger Maris's home run record and the franchise both men called home. Aaron Judge the hulking superman who carried an easy aw - shucks demeanor from small - town California to stardom in the Big Apple had long established his place as one of baseball's most intimidating power hitters. Baseballs frequently rocketed off his bat like cannon fire dispatching heat - seeking missiles toward the Judge's Chambers seating area in right field sending delirious fans scattering for souvenirs. But even in a high - tech universe where computers measure each swing to the nth degree Roger Maris's American League mark of sixty - one home runs seemed largely out of reach. It had been more than a decade since baseball wiped clean the stains of its performance - enhanced era in which cartoonish sluggers Mark Mc Gwire Sammy Sosa and Barry Bonds made a mockery of the record book. Given a more level playing field against pitchers sporting hellacious arsenals unlike anything Babe Ruth or Maris could have imagined only an exceptional talent could even consider making a run at sixty - one homers. Judge who placed the bet of his life by turning down a $213.5 million extension on the eve of the regular season promised to rise to the challenge. In the most thorough telling yet of an all - time - great Yankees performance (Jeff Passan New York Times bestselling author) veteran Yankees beat reporter Bryan Hoch unravels the remarkable journey of Judge's run to shatter Maris's beloved sixty - one - year - old record. In - depth inspiring and with an expert's insight 62 also investigates the more significant questions raised in a season unlike any other including how and where Judge will deliver his encore.
