By Adrian Dorney Modified 30 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share New York Yankees v Toronto Blue Jays Aaron Judge has made history for the New York Yankees.

The Triple Crown goes to the leader in home runs, RBIs and batting average. It last went to Miguel Cabrera of the Detroit Tigers in 2012. Now that Judge has tied Roger Maris' record, he has a week left in the season to beat it, at least in the eyes of the mainstream. There is, however, a school of thought that does not recognize Maris himself as the all-time home run champ. Technically, the all-time home run leader is Barry Bonds. Bonds hit 74 home runs in the 1997 MLB season for the San Francisco Giants. Because Bonds was using Performance-Enhancing Drugs (PEDs), his record was discounted. However, many still consider Bonds to be the home run leader, despite his drug misuse. Popular MLB commentator Jared Carrabis believes this. Although Roger Maris passed away in 1985, his son, Roger Maris Jr. has spoken out on the issue. When asked if he believes that Bonds' record is illegitimate, Maris Jr. replied: "I do. I think most people do." This would imply that Maris Jr. believes his father is tied with Aaron Judge for the most home runs in a season in history. New York Yankees@Yankees61 years since 61.

Aaron Judge looks set to make history

New York Yankees v Toronto Blue Jays Aaron Judge drilled his 61st home run of the year on Wednesday night. It came in the seventh inning against Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Tim Mayza. The dinger put the Yankees up in the game 5-3. They would eventually go on to take the game by a final score of 8-3. With a pair of series left in the season, it appears that Judge may well hit his target. More than likely, he will be considered the Home Run King forever after.
