The record was previously held by Roger Maris (61), which was fittingly set in 1961, and coincidentally 61 years ago. This couldn’t have been more perfect. Before Maris, it was Babe Ruth (60) in 1927.
In the days leading up to #62, there was constant chatter about this record and if Judge would stand as MLBs overall single season home run record holder above Sammy Sosa, Mark McGwire, and Barry Bonds, all guys who played during the marred steroid era of the 1990s and 2000s. Foggy to some, clear to others, the dialogue on this topic is seemingly endless and everyone’s a critic. Regardless of what you think, we have to appreciate Judge’s #62.
