'That's number 60. Let somebody match that' - Babe Ruth

 Aaron Judge smashes his 60th home run of the season to move level with Babe Ruth - and one behind Roger Maris' AL record...

This guy is a genuine class act. Team-focused, humble, ungodly good at what he does, and just an all-around class act.
 Watch the way he runs the bases after the shot. No drama, no fist pumps or any other grandstanding bullshit. Just another day at the office. This guy is a true treasure for all of baseball, not just the guys in pinstripes.
In the bottom of the ninth inning and his team down by four runs, Judge stepped up to the plate and crushed his 60th homer of the season. 
In a record-equaling shot, Judge is now tied with Babe Ruth and just one behind Roger Maris, who holds the all-time American League record with 61. But as Judge went round the bases, his team were still 8-5 down. 
Judge didn't know it at the time, but he had just started to turn the game on its head. Soon after, with the bases loaded, Giancarlo Stanton belted the ball into the stands with a walk off Grand Slam to wrap up a stunning 9-8 victory at Yankee Stadium. 
Maybe not the greatest game to watch, but a friggin' awesome bottom of the ninth. Juss' sayin'...
