Aaron Judge made American League history Wednesday night when he socked his 61st home run of the 2022 season on the road against the Blue Jays (-1.5). Sixty-one years after Roger Maris first notched the AL record for the Yankees, Judge officially ties him in the record books.
But not everyone was so enthused about Judge making American League history. You see, while they’ve played over 120 years of American League baseball, Judge’s home run isn’t the overall MLB record. That still belongs to Barry Bonds, who hit 73 in 2001.
