Aaron Judge has taken to Twitter recently to offer widespread thanks after he set a new American League record with his 62nd home run.

With his homer against the Texas Rangers in the first inning, Judge finally eclipsed the Roger Maris record that he must have felt marooned on after a six-game wait.

After having time to absorb the magnitude of his achievement, Judge took to Twitter and wrote: “What a night. Such a blessing from God to share that moment with so many special people!”

Judge told MLB Network, “I gotta thank God for putting me in this position and getting me to where I’m at, [and] the constant support from my family and friends who have been with me through it all – coaches from Little League, high school, college that have been here [and] instructed me and helped me out through this whole thing.”

He continued, “Anytime individual records, individual awards are given, it’s never individual. It’s never single-handedly done. It’s through a group effort. People behind the scenes, family support, friends, teammates.”

“So I can’t stand up here and say this is a great accomplishment for me. This is something for my family, for my teammates, for the Yankees,” he added. “This is a group effort that I’m happy to share.”

The 30-year-old Judge references his faith on his social media accounts. His Twitter bio reads, “Christian. Faith, Family, then Baseball.” His bio also includes a verse, 2 Corinthians 5:7: “For we walk by faith, not by sight.”

Aaron James Judge is an American professional baseball outfielder for the New York Yankees of Major League Baseball (MLB).

Judge was unanimously selected as the American League (AL) Rookie of the Year in 2017 and finished second in voting for the AL Most Valuable Player Award that year.

In 2022, he set the AL record for most home runs in a season, breaking the 61-year-old record held by Roger Maris.
