On the night that Aaron Judge tied his father’s American League home run record, Roger Maris Jr. made a bold declaration: 'He should be revered for being the actual single-season home run champ. That’s really who he is, if he hits 62.'
On the night that Aaron Judge tied his father’s American League home run record, Roger Maris Jr. made a bold declaration.
One more home run would give Judge the outright AL lead, but would still leave him 11 shy of Barry Bonds’ MLB record of 73 home runs, which he hit in 2001. Following Judge’s tying shot on Wednesday, though, the younger Maris called Bonds’ total illegitimate,“I think it means a lot, not just for me. I think it means a lot for a lot of people,” Maris said. “That he’s clean, he’s a Yankee, he plays the game the right way.
Bonds—along with Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa, who also topped Maris’ mark of 61 homers—did so in an era of the game that predated MLB testing for performance-enhancing drugs, and when the use of such PEDs was common. The younger Maris echoes the views of many fans who believe the records from that era to be tainted.
Judge has seven games left to move past Maris, beginning with Friday’s game against the Orioles at Yankee Stadium.
