only sammy sosa, k mcgwire barry bonds were more t. to season. the homer came in the in the 2nd to last of the year.e native admitted to feeling the pressure to break the record. >> >> in the past couple of games d up and it was the seventh inning. we have to figure it ou. it out. every at-bat i have teammates stacked up. there on top of the step. i hit a double. there is a little pressure in . in their. try to block that out. >> the road game, 1-0 compadres. they got to the corner quickly. corner quickly. two runs scored. the giants record fell to 80 and 81. in oakland, the angels catcher said farewell to the fil game of his career. he spent the the first six seasons in oaklan. in oakland. the a's loaded them up in the 10th. then he drew a walkoff walk. he scored in the a's got the second straight walkoff win. 2-1 is the final. the nfl and 49ers, every team ie west has a record of 2 and 2 ths to the defense. also the fellowt wears number 19. >> samuel provided the signature provided the signature offensiv. offensive play. a 57 yard catch and run

three men sammy sosa, mark mcgwire and barry bonds have all hit more.e those other records shouldn't count, arguing those men cheated because they tested positive for or admitted to using steroids. just asked the son of the man, aaron judge, just surpassed should be revered for you know, being the actual single season home run champ, but judge says he believes bonds mark of 73 is the rightful season record. either way, the ball hit last night could be worth millions. the fan who caught it says he's not sure what he'll do with the ball. what are you going to do with the ball? corey thought about it happens to be vice president at an investment firm that manages nearly $200 billion, so money may not be his motive. and consider this judge's number 99 hit home run number 62 on the same night, the yankees record improved to 99 62 big congrats to him coming up next, a new option for shoppers who love thrift stores, plus goodbye to the gecko. why we'll goodbye to the gecko. why we'll be seeing less of him on tv. ♪ ♪ this is the moment. for a treatment for mode

sammy sosa, they had 62 home runs in the seasons.s being called a new clean homerun king after roger merited the record in 1961. talking of money aaron judge slated to become a free agent after he turned down at we ate year, $235 million offer from the yankees before the season. how much is he worth now. here's a great story emerging. will cane is with us on the phone. you were there at the game but you missed the big hit even though it came in the first inning. explain yourself. what were you doing? >> i'm aware, you don't have to recount the details. i was there. obviously a rookie took full responsibility. my brother's birthday, i went with my stepdad and two brothers. we have fancy pants where it looks like a club buffet in the core door. my brothers said let's go in the fourth inning. why would we go in the middle of the game? that is stupid. let's go now. it is a little longer than you think it will be. the prime rib was frozen, not what you thought it would be. it is the first inning and i know he's leading off. not in the fir

record even though the record books say differently with the likes of barry bonds, mark maguire, sammy sosa a texas rangers fan. what was the deal with him? others give it back to the player with these kind of things happen. but he didn't. like i said he is looking forward to a two million-dollar payday. maybe idea of free games, picture with judge wasn't enough to do it for him, what do you make of that? >> it varies by the person that catches the ball. you saw aaron judge hit 68 with a yankee stadium, 20 man got meet-and-greet, four signed balls one for each of hiss buddies he was satisfied with that. for the 62nd this guy is investment banker out in dallas, used to handling big finances. he wants to be on the other end of that this time around, to see what he can get for this ball. could be matter of negotiating with aaron judge to see what you can obtain or could be with an auction house. could be a ralph. done through inexpensive nft. so many options are at cory yeoman's disposal. as we saw last night he was chased down, getting ball authenticated. very smart thing to do, anytime you c

and there's no need demonize mcgwire or sammy sosa, it was a different time.stretch, there were a cluster of six 60-plus home run seasons by those three guys. by sosa, mcgwire, and bonds. all of them obviously and convincingly connected to steroid use. so that's an aberrant period of time in baseball history, and a great number of people view aaron judge as the guy who did it most authentically, most legitimately. and it doesn't hurt that he's carried himself with such grace and humility. in that sense, he has more in common with roger maris who set the record of 61 at that time, 61 years ago. he has more in common personally with roger maris than he does with many of his contemporaries. >> absolutely. and i have a feeling that, you know, the next several weeks are just going to be terrific to watch. bob costas, great to see you as always. thank you so much. appreciate the time. >> thank you, jim. >> all right. >>> scary moments, we should point out, during a college football game this afternoon. the university of michigan's running backs coach mike hart colla
