It took a little longer than expected, but Aaron Judge finally made Yankees and MLB history on Tuesday.

Judge belted his 62nd home run of the season in Arlington, Texas, and legendary Yankees radio voice John Sterling was ready to narrate the moment.

Sterling, 84, let out his call of the Judge blast, declaring it to be 'judgment day' as No. 99 trotted around the bases. Here is the call, as heard on WFAN 660:

The home run comes six days after Judge hit No. 61 in Toronto

Judge, who was on a pace to hit his record-setting homer two weeks ago, had struggled of late, hitting just one homer in the past 13 games, spanning 58 plate appearances. He hit .200 with a double, homer, 17 walks and 13 strikeouts since tying Babe Ruth with his 60th homer.
