He added that he wanted to add a certain phrase for the moment, which will forever be etched in history. He spoke to the Daily News saying: “I don’t plan calls, but the one thing I wanted to get in was certainly ‘case closed.' I just kept thinking ‘Judge,’ and this puts the home run record to rest in the American League, so I wanted to end it with ‘case closed.’ That I knew, but everything else plays off of where the ball is, and it wasn’t one of those majestic home runs that you knew right away, so there had to be some hesitation.” Aaron Judge's historic homer was covered by Michael Kay on the YES Network on Tuesday The historic night was telecast on the YES Network with over 933,000 viewers in the New York area.
