The 161st Street Business Improvement District (BID) would like to congratulate Aaron Judge of the New York Yankees for becoming the American League single-season home run king. Judge hit his 62nd home run in second game of a doubleheader against the Texas Rangers last night surpassing another Yankee Slugger Roger Maris. The Yankees have one final regular season game against the Rangers this afternoon before they prepare for the American League Division Series next Tuesday, October 11.
For the first home playoff game at Yankee Stadium, the 161st Street BID will be welcoming Aaron Judge back to the Bronx and Yankee fans to the district with a performance from the brass band the Underground Horns. The Underground Horns will be performing in front of the McDonald’s (East 161st Street) across from Yankee Stadium 90 minutes before the game on October 11 (time TBD). In addition to music, the BID will be working with mural artist Andre Trenier for a Yankees mural unveiling the morning of October 11 at Ballpark Sports Shop (850 River Ave).
