Aaron Judge’s home run record plaque gets stolen so often it can’t be replaced

A plaque commemorating Aaron Judge’s historic 62nd home run of the 2022 season at Globe Life Field in Texas has been stolen for the second time and will not be replaced, WFAN’s Justin Shackil reports.

Judge famously broke the American League single-season home run record against the Texas Rangers at Globe Life Field in the penultimate game of the 2022 season. Judge’s home run came in the first inning of a nightcap to a double header on the penultimate day of the season. The ball, which broke the record last set by former Yankee Roger Maris in 1961, traveled to deep right field and was caught by 35-year-old Cory Youmans in Section 31, Row 1, Seat 3.

Both times the plaque was placed, it was there. Now, all that remains is a blob of cement where the tribute once stood.

According to Shackil, the Rangers said no third plaque will be installed.

This isn’t the first theft of memorabilia from historic Yankees moments. In 2014, several World Series rings and two MVP plaques belonging to Yankees legend Yogi Berra were stolen from a museum at the Yogi Berra Museum and Learning Center in Little Falls, New Jersey.

At this point in 2022, Judge had already hit 55 home runs, but since late April, Judge has been hitting at a faster pace than he did that year after an unusually slow start for the Yankees captain.

But even if Judge reaches 60 home runs this year, he will become the third player with multiple 60-home run seasons, following Sammy Sosa (three) and Mark McGwire (two).

Only two players in the history of the game have matched or surpassed each of Judge’s slash line totals this season while also hitting at least 50 homers, and both came before MLB integration. Babe Ruth did it three times. Right-handed hitter Jimmie Foxx did it once, for the 1932 Philadelphia Athletics.
