Judge had gone seven games without a homer between his 60th and 61st, then another five games without one before hitting number 62 tonight in Texas. Judge finally connected on a 1-1 slider off pitcher Jesus Tinoco to lead off the Yankees’ next-to-last game of the season. Judge was greeted by his teammates at home plate as his parents looked on from the stands.

It was far from clear if Judge would be able to do so. The Yankees were so confident that their offer was fair — that they hadn’t lowballed their most popular player since Derek Jeter — that they publicly revealed the details of it, claiming they knew the figure would leak anyway but also doing more than a little to win the PR battle. Judge, after all, was nearly 30 at the time, relatively old for a first-time free agent.
