A plaque commemorating Aaron Judge's historic 62nd home run of the 2022 season at Globe Life Field in Texas has been stolen for a second time and will now not be replaced again, according to WFAN's Justin Shackil.
Judge broke the American League single-season home run record against the Texas Rangers at Globe Life Field in the penultimate game of the 2022 season. Judge’s home run came in the first inning of a doubleheader closeout on the penultimate day of the season. The ball, which broke the record last set by former Yankee Roger Maris in 1961, traveled to deep right field and was caught by 35-year-old Cory Youmans in section 31, row 1, seat 3.
That's where the plaque was located the two times it was placed there, but now there's only a spoonful of cement where the tribute once stood.

The Rangers said a third plaque will not be placed, according to Shackil.
This is not the first theft of Yankees memorabilia from historic moments. In 2014, several of Yankees legend Yogi Berra's World Series rings and two MVP plaques were stolen from a museum at the Yogi Berra Museum and Learning Center in Little Falls, New Jersey.

By this point in 2022, Judge had already hit 55 home runs, but he has been hitting at a faster pace than that year since late April, following an unusually slow start for the Yankees captain.

Still, even if Judge manages to reach 60 this year, he would become the third player with multiple 60-homer seasons, joining Sammy Sosa (three) and Mark McGwire (two).
Only two players in the history of the game have matched or surpassed each of Judge's batting line totals this season and also hit at least 50 home runs, and both did so before MLB integration. Babe Ruth did it three times. Right-handed hitter Jimmie Foxx did it once, for the 1932 Philadelphia Athletics.
