Judge smashed his 62nd home run in October, vaulting himself into the pantheon of Yankees greats as he broke Roger Maris' American League single-season record that had remained untouched since 1961.

The Yankees became the top-selling team on the ticket sales platform StubHub between Aug. 1 and Oct. 4, beating the second most popular team - the St. Louis Cardinals - by a whopping 20%, with per-game sales more than 300% higher than the league average. "Even though they are the New York Yankees, still it certainly helps when you have such an exciting season with a home run chase going on, you know, full sellout there down the stretch and then heading into the off season - it certainly will help their business."
