Baseball player Aaron Judge is aiming for an all-time home run league record today, having already racked up sixty this season. And in a rather coincidental turn of events, the crucial game lands on the last Apple TV+ Friday Night Baseball day of the season, an incredible finale for Apple’s first venture into live sports.
Aaron Judge hit his 60th home run of the season at Tuesday’s game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. He needs one more today to tie Roger Maris’ all time American league record of 61, set in 1961. If he gets two home runs, Judge will be the all-out record holder.
The big match takes place at 7 PM Eastern Time today with the Red Sox at the Yankees stadium. It is one of the two games today available exclusively on the Apple TV platform, streaming as part of Apple’s Friday Night Baseball deal.
The Yankee’s YES network reportedly held talks with Apple to negotiate showing the potentially history setting game on other channels, but Apple declined. As such, the only way to watch the big game is on the Apple TV app.
