He will set the AL record when he hits 62 home runs in a 162 game schedule and passes Maris.

IMHO - This should be the record for 162 game schedule as Bonds, Maguire and Sosa were aided by PED,s

I am a Yankee fan of 70 years and a baseball; traditionalists.This record will be done cleanly and does not require an asterik.
The game has changed so much since my Dad took me to see “Stan the Man” (first 100k player) play that Traditional baseball as we know it is gone. I’m not saying it’s all bad but certainly it’s a different game now.
