Aaron Judge of the New York Yankees hit his 62nd home run of the season last night and set a new American League single-season record.
I think we can all agree on that.
However, there are some people that also believe Judge is now the holder of the major league single-season home run record. These people do not recognize the 73 home runs that Barry Bonds hit in 2001 because Bonds (very likely) used performance-enhancing drugs during that season.
To be consistent — though I question whether those people care about consistency — those people must also refuse to acknowledge Mark McGwire's 70 home runs in 1998, Sammy Sosa's 66 home runs in 1998, McGwire's 65 home runs in 1999, Sosa's 64 home runs in 2001, and Sosa's 63 home runs in 1999.
