Judge hits 61st homer
Judge hits his 61st homer in his 155th game. Did he break Ruth’s record?? In 1927, MLB only played 154 games.

So. Yes but it needs an asterisk.

As far as I am concerned he now is tied for American league home run record and hopefully breaks it soon

I am a big fan of Judge. He conducts himself with dignity and modesty which I find admirable. His abilities and dedication are unquestionable..

I hope he stays a Yankee. The money he seeks is astronomical, but so is everyone else in the major sports. If he succeeds, more power to him. How much money is enough? A question for the ages.

Growing up in Minnesota my team was the Twins and one of my favorite ballplayers was Harmon Killebrew, who at the time (mid-1960's) was hitting homers very close to Ruth's AL record of 1 every 11.76 at-bats, and finished his career with the fifth most total homeruns in the AL. His high salary for any one year was I believe $100,000.00 which is about $915,000.00 today. Shows just how out-of-proportion major league salaries are today compared to times past. |

The short answer is no, he tied Ruth with 60 homers as the season was 154 games. Judge had several more games but didn't get it done to my disappointment.
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.

Being from Massachusetts we were raised to hate all things Yankee, actually all NY sport teams.

I can understand dislike but hate seems a bit too much dont you think?

I do wonder when (and why) this happened. I don’t remember the profanity and cursing at MLB games when I was a kid. |
