Just two years after breaking a record that stood for 61 years, Aaron Judge is threatening his own history.

The New York Yankees superstar belted his 46th and 47th home runs of the season on Wednesday night, and with 35 games left, we are officially on 63 watch.

Judge surpassed a former Yankee in Roger Maris in 2022, when he blasted 62 home runs, a new American League single season record.

It propelled him to his first MVP Award, but this year, he is putting up even better numbers and is all but a lock to win the award again.

In 2022, Judge hit .311 with a .425 on-base and .686 slugging percentage, and fans thought that was one of the best offensive seasons ever. This season, he is slashing .334/.465/.722. 

Judge is officially "on pace" to come up just short and hit 60 on the season. However, it needs to be noted that that "pace" includes Judge's tremendous slump from the beginning of the season, in which he hit just six home runs in his first 35 games. 

However, since May 5, he has played 90 games and has put 41 baseballs into the seats. For what it is worth, that is a full-season pace of 73.8 home runs, which matches Barry Bonds' all-time record set in 2001, which remains a controversial statistic.
