Aaron Judge’s chase to eclipse Roger Maris’ single-season American League home run record produced one of sports’ most compelling storylines in 2022, and the Yankees slugger will soon be rewarded with a key to the City of New York.
Mayor Eric Adams told Audacy's 1010 WINS on Thursday that plans are underway for the city to formally recognize Judge, who hit 62 home runs last season to earn his first American League Most Valuable Player Award.
“The team is putting it together now,” Adams said. “We’re communicating with the Yankees organization. If they accept, we would love to give it to Aaron Judge. It was a historical moment.”
