I just wish Aaron Judge had hit #61 by game #154. [View all]

It would have put to bed one big long time baseball controversy. What we have now is that Ruth shares the record (60 in a 154 game season) with Judge - not still owns it. I remember Maris' run in 1961. It was big news. I was 10 years old and had met Roger in 1959 when he played for the KC A's. Maybe next year.
