The New York Yankees’ Aaron Judge has hit 60 home runs this season and is 13 home runs short of the Major League record 73 home runs hit by Barry Bonds in 2001 with nine games to go. However, the American League record still stands at the 61 home runs hit by Roger Maris in 1961. This has prompted the media around baseball to promote Judge’s pursuit of 61 as if it were a record worth celebrating, led by ESPN cutting into college football over the weekend to show Judge’s at bats and complaints that Friday night’s game was exclusively on Apple TV+ even though it was available to watch for free.
