1-0-0-1-0-0-1 Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Apologies to all the Yankee haters here (actually, sorry not sorry ), but this is the current list of the all-time single season HR leaders. This is what Judge is chasing. 1. 2001 Barry Bonds: 73 2. 1998 Mark McGwire: 70 3. 1998 Sammy Sosa: 66 4. 1999 Mark McGwire: 65 5. 2001 Sammy Sosa: 64 6. 1999 Sammy Sosa: 63 7. 1961 Roger Maris: 61 8. 1927 Babe Ruth: 60 Judge has 43 HRs in 104 games, 58 games to go. Seeing who's populating the top six spots on that list, and seeing that those three players did all that in a (very dubious) four-year span, makes me root for Judge to at least get past Maris and up amongst those guys, and while I am a Yankees fan, I say that more as a baseball fan. That top-six pisses me off. https://www.mlb.com/news/2022-aaron-judge-home-run-pace-tracker 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Principled Man Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 If Judge hits 61 or more homers in 154 games, then he is The One True God. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that would resurrect that old debate, at least for the baseball purists, though we've been playing 162-game seasons for 61 years now (61!). Those top six spots should all have an * next to them anyway, and it has nothing to do with games played. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was born in ‘61, I’m soon to be 61 years old, so I am biased towards Maris and the number 61. HA! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laughedatbytime Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Here's hoping he gets the record, his team gets swept in the first round, and he leaves the Yanks, his last memory as a Yankee being his team being booed off the field by the most entitled fans in baseball. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Analog Cub Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 I hope he does it, it would be great for the game. I also hope the Twins finally get the monkey off their back and beat them in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he will. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, I'm already too bored to post video of the Yankee fan throwing a ball at Verdugo. I would have had to stop at 27 anyway because that's the highest number any Yankee fan knows. And deep down you know that most Yankee fans are frontrunners, bandwagoners or both. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1-0-0-1-0-0-1 Posted August 11, 2022 Author Share Posted August 11, 2022 Judge hit two HRs today, his first dingers since I posted this thread nine days ago. Could be my fault. Still on a pace for 65. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cygnus 2112 Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 I don't follow baseball that closely. Other than the single season record, is he on pace for the all-time record? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking he won't get there. It's either 762* or 755. He has virtually no chance to get there, especially with his injury history. I'd say he has about a 50% chance to get to 500.
