Aaron Judge’s HR Plaque At Globe Life Park Stolen For Second Time

While no one has the answers for Aaron Judge on the field right now, fans are trying to slow him down off of it.

The New York Yankees slugger had his plaque commemorating his 62nd home run two years ago stolen from Globe Life Park, the stadium where the Texas Rangers play. Even though Judge plays for a different team, the Rangers made a classy move to immortalize one of the record-breaking moments in baseball history.

Justin Shackil of the YES Network was the first to report the news as the Yankees took on the Rangers last week for a three-game series, and Shackil stated that there would not be a third plaque to replace the stolen one.

Judge broke Roger Marris’s AL regular-season record of 61 home runs in 2022, which stood for 61 years. Barry Bonds hit 73 home runs in a season, but due to steroid usage, most analysts believe 61 was the number to beat for most HRs in a single year. After hitting 62 bombs, Judge discussed the emotions of breaking that record.

“Roger Maris Jr,. him and his family, supporting and being along for the ride too, a lot of thanks and congratulations to them too. It’s a tough situation, your dad’s legacy and you want to uphold that. But getting a chance to meet that family, they are wonderful people. Getting a chance to have my name next to someone as great as Roger Maris, Babe Ruth, those guys, is incredible.”

Judge is looking for an encore in 2024. So far, the Bronx Bomber has 51 home runs with 22 games left in the regular season. While it sounds like a long shot, the slugger is batting .323 at the plate, and with the Yankees in a dead heat for the AL East title, Judge’s at-bats will be a deciding factor.

After winning the first game of the series with the Rangers, the Yankees dropped the next two for a series loss.
