New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge has hit a major milestone in his career. Tuesday night, on his home field, Judge hit his 60th home run of the season — matching George Herman "Babe" Ruth.

With two weeks left in the regular season, Judge is just one home run shy of breaking the American League single-season home run record set by Roger Maris more than 60 years ago.
