In 2017, New York Yankees superstar slugger Aaron Judge discussed his nickname "All Rise". In an interview with "The Post Game," he disclosed that it wasn’t his idea, but he still liked it.

He said:

“It just showed up one day. The fans like it. It kind of fits, so I just kind of rolled with it," Aaron Judge said.

Judge recently blasted his 62nd home run in his team's game against the Texas Rangers. The record, which was 61 homers in a single season, hadn't been broken in 61 years and was previously held by Roger Maris. With his solo home run to left field, Judge now holds the record for the most home runs by an American League player in a single season in history.

When asked in the conference if he’d like to get the ball back, Judge said:

"It'd be great to get it back, but that's a souvenir for a fan," Judge said. "So, they made a great catch out there, and they've got every right to it."

Judge mostly had trouble reaching 60 for the year. With 18 walks, 15 strikeouts, a home run, and 231 total bases, he has now reached base in 33 straight games, which is a blessing. It will be fascinating to see if he can loosen up and turn into a one-man demolition crew in the postseason now that the pressure of breaking the record has passed.
