This game was played in TX. As a new yorker, and someone who has attended many yankees games (full disclosure - I wasn't there), even if this happened in the Bronx, half the crowd would go crazy, and the rest would be on their phones eating sushi. We're a special breed.

If this was a rainy day in the BX playing an otherwise meaningless game in a double header I guarantee you almost everyone in that stadium would be losing their shit. No one would be there for any other reason than to see 62.

I was at a game against the pirates a few weeks ago and the entire stadium would stand up for the entirety of every Judge at bat, and this was when he was at like 60 or so. Absolutely he’s the reason why people are going to Yankee games rn

I went to a game hoping to catch him hit 61 and this is pure bullshit. The entire stadium of 45000 was standing and silent in anticipation for every single one of his ABs

Eat ass, buddy

Real New Yorkers are Mets fans, LGM. I’m kidding (sorta) but really as a baseball fan and a New Yorker it’s great to have one of the greatest players of today playing in the city.

People now aren't going to games to see him beat the record, but instead set it higher. I like it

the single season homerun record is 73 by Barry Bonds in 2001. Wake me up when someone surpasses that number and then we'll talk.
