The New York Yankees put on a show for their fans against the Milwaukee Brewers at Yankee Stadium on Saturday. The only problem is many watching started to question whether New York’s offensive onslaught was legal. First baseman Paul Goldschmidt, left fielder Cody Bellinger and right fielder Aaron Judge hit back-to-back-to-back home runs off Brewers starter and former teammate Nestor Cortes on the first three pitches of the first inning.

One fan went all out for Aaron Judge’s 62nd home run ball — and still appeared to come up empty. Video of Judge’s 62nd home run at Globe Life Park show a fan jumping over the railing in an attempt to retrieve it. However, the ball ended up well wide of the desperate spectator. A different fan was able to catch the ball fairly easily with his glove. The ball could be worth millions depending on how the fan decides to handle the precious commodity.

Judge his his 62nd.

New York Yankees star Aaron Judge hit his 61st home run of the season Wednesday night against the Toronto Blue Jays, tying Roger Maris' American League record. It took Maris until Oct. 1, the final game of the 1961 season, to hit his 61st, which broke Babe Ruth's single-season mark of 60 home runs set in 1927. Judge did it Sept. 28, in Game No. 155 for New York. A day after the Yankees clinched the American League East title, Judge, batting leadoff as the designated hitter, took Toronto's Tim Mayza deep in the seventh inning with a runner on...

Saturday afternoon, Aaron Judge went homerless, leaving his record at 60 homers, which ties with the greatest and most important player in baseball history, Babe Ruth. Judge still needs two jolts to surpass Roger Maris and take sole leadership of the most home runs in a season in both New York Yankee and American League history. However, while 62 homers are impressive, they still significantly trail Barry Bonds’ 73 homers in 2001. Even if Judge reaches 62 sometime in the next 11 games, he’d still be only seventh on the single-season list trailing Sammy Sosa (63 in 1999, 64 in...

Yankees star Aaron Judge refused to directly answer a question about his vaccine status Tuesday amid a requirement in New York City that every private sector employee be inoculated against the coronavirus. "I'm still focused on just getting to the first game of spring training," Judge said from the team's Florida training complex. "So I think we'll cross that bridge after the time comes. But right now, so many things could change. So I'm not really too worried about that right now." SNIP The employer mandate is the same across the board, whether it's a sports team playing indoors or...

Long-time captain Derek Jeter always said it was World Series or bust for the New York Yankees, and Aaron Judge is following in his footsteps. “It’s a failure,’’ Judge told The Post after the Yankees’ season-ending 6-4 loss to the Astros in Game 6 of the ALCS on Saturday night in Houston. “We talked about winning the division and winning the World Series. “No matter how many games we won during the regular season it is a failure.’’

Yankees right fielder Aaron Judge hit his 40th home run of the year Sunday in the fourth inning of the Rangers' Nick Martinez, joining Mark McGwire (1987) as the second player in the history of Major League Baseball to record 40-plus homers as a rookie. In the Yanks' 16-7 victory at Globe Life Park, Judge also became just the fourth Yankee to hit 40 homers in a season in his age-25 season or younger, joining Halll of Famers Mickey Mantle (1956), Joe DiMaggio (1937), Lou Gehrig (1927) and Babe Ruth (1920).
