The entire MLB world is celebrating the single-season home run record of the New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge. Notably, Judge smashed his 61st homer this season and leveled Roger Maris’ single-season home run record in the American League.

Although it is a fact that Barry Bonds (72) and Mark McGwire (70) hold the single-season home run record in the entire MLB, Roger Maris Jr. has come up with some serious statements after Judge hit his 61st home run. 

Roger Maris Jr. considers Aaron Judge is the single-season home-run champ, not Barry Bonds or Mark McGwire

It is not hidden that Barry Bonds and Mark McGwire allegedly used steroids to break the home run record. Bonds smashed 72 home runs in a season while playing for the SF Giants. On the other hand, McGwire also smashed 70 home runs in a season while playing for the St. Louis Cardinals.

And given they were not clean, Roger Maris’ son believes that not only in the American League but Aaron Judge is the real home run champ in the entire MLB. Maris Jr. even said that Aaron Judge is the face of baseball.

“I do. Yeah!, ” he said when asked if McGwire and Bonds’ records are illegitimate in his opinion.

Although Bonds never admitted he used PEDs, in 2010, McGwire confessed that he used PEDs when he hit 70 home runs in a season.

However, Ohtani is also having a brilliant season. The reigning AL MVP is having an even better season than the last year. But it is a pity that he will not be able to play in the postseason games. It also gives an edge to Judge to overtake Ohtani as the MVP favorite.
