Aaron Judge’s chase of Babe Ruth and Roger Maris has cut through much of the cynicism that marked baseball’s PED era.
The record is 73. One can call it tainted or inauthentic, but Barry Bonds indisputably set the major league record for home runs in a season by smacking the cartoonish total of 73 in 2001.
There has been romance in the air in The Bronx through an historic late September that has demonstrated the enduring magic of the Nos. 60 and 61. All these years later, despite 73 by Bonds and 70 by Mark McGwire three years before that, 60 and 61 remain as magical numbers in baseball as 56 or .406. “I think the casual person just comes tonight and thinks, ‘I’m going to [see Judge] hit a homer,’ ” manager Aaron Boone said. “The reality is he just missed two the last two nights. The press room in which Boone conducts his daily briefings and from where Judge spoke after smacking No. 60 has its side walls adorned with blown-up posters of national magazine covers featuring the Yankees.
