, tying Maris’ 61-year-old mark, Maris Jr. said that Judge “should be revered for being the actual single-season home run champ” if he goes on to hit a 62nd home run. New York has seven games left in the regular season.
“That’s really who he is if he hits 62,” Maris Jr., who has attended every Yankees game since Judge hit his 60th homer, said. “I think that’s what needs to happen.
7th place for a season total doesn’t count.
He needs to go
League where pitchers don’t hit and one batter doesn’t play the field has thoughts on which version of the game legitimate
He seems to more so want the name to stay relevant
how do I automatically jump from these intoxicating ads to my paid account without logging in every blessed time?
He just wanted to stay relevant. Who cares about roger maris jr.
Did his dad do Greenies?
Wasn’t his dad hopper up on greenies like every other player back then?
He's a sore loser. You could see the disappointment in his face. He did not want that record broken.
And all statistical benchmarks achieved prior to full-scale integration are completely meaningless . Satchel Paige is the K King (sorry, Nolan) and Josh Gibson (sorry, Barry) is the home run king. When we want to put asterisks on records, we need to be honest all the way through.
No they don’t.
Not most pal
FOH
I agree with him. Bonds McGwire Sosa are cheaters. Period.
By that measure, should we not include Roger Maris in the conversation? Babe Ruth hit 60 in 154 games, Maris needed 162 games (and specifically the final game of the season) to hit 61.
Lol 🤡
Steroids don't improve hand-eye, you still gotta make contact. Bonds never struck out 160x in a season.
MLB Meh.
Same here
🤮🤮🤮🤮 show some respect. I love how dominating Judge this season, but please, show some respect.
While we are at it I would like Ana De Armas to be recognized as my girlfriend, league-wide
MLB Yep, I agree with him
MLB Nope
MLB no, no we don’t.
Is he clean? Show me the last time he got tested, I want independent testing every day for the rest of the year If you think I’m being mean blame Bonds, McGuire, and Sosa
Talk to me about amphetamines Mr. Jr
In a way, Maris Jr is correct, this Judge last year as a Yankee, it would have been cool for him to have broke it at Yankee stadium
So he’s saying: “He’s one of the good ones”
It’s the only thing that makes him relevant. Don’t even understand why he’s there
Let’s be honest here, Judge is also ⛽️ up
ferris316 He’s right. Everyone knows that the other guys cheated for the record. Whether the league recognizes it officially, it’s clear people in general view Judge and Maris as tied for the real record.
While we are at it, I would like Kentucky to be recognized as 2015 National Champions. Thanks in advance little Rog
This belief that Judge isn’t on something is hysterical.
if his dad wanted the record he should have hit more dingers
It is recognized league-wide…as the 7th best single season HR total ever.
Do we really know he’s clean….really! I don’t suspect he cheated but do we really ever know?
I do believe that Bonds was only accused but never tested positive, so, maybe the allegations were illegitimate, hand eye coordination is a motherfucker aint, its hard to just make contact, steroids dont help that buddy
What's he going to say once Judge breaks dad's record?
Roger Maris Jr. wanting to put an asterisk on the MLB home run record is an all-time record in irony.
His dad shoulda taken more amphetamines
Why doesn’t Roger Maris Jr hit some home runs then?
Roger Maris JR is exactly right. His pop wasn’t a cheater nor a reprehensible liar like those who hit MORE than 61. Ruth to Maris to Judge. It’s true, it’s ethical, it has symmetry.
MLB Still won’t get him to Cooperstown.
Maris jr is a dork and Judge isn’t even the most valuable player in the AL this year so can we just celebrate a nice AL-only record and move on?
Who wrote this?
Gimmie a break
Stop giving this clout chaser oxygen.
OK Boomer...
Why would it be recognised league-wide? It's not the league-wide record. Judge simply needs to hit 74 home runs and it will be.
They both should've hit 13 more home runs. Then they'd have the record. Because that's how numbers work.
Roger Maris Jr. is right 100%
Roger Maris Jr is illegitimate. Only has his name, nothing else.
Who cares what he wants?
MLB NeverForget
MLB We get it, you're owned by the New York Times. It's enough. Shohei's season is historic.
