Welcome back to the Aaron Judge Home Run Record Tracker! We’re taking a daily look at where Aaron Judge’s monster season tracks compared to some of the other historic single-season home run leaders in anticipation of Judge potentially joining their ranks. We’ll be going by Team Game because not every player’s seasons were in sync with the calendar days and everyone didn’t play all of the team’s games, which makes this our universal standard. Let’s run through Game 155:
Aaron Judge through Game 155 of 2022: 61 HR
Team Game 155: 9/28 — 1-for-4, 1 HR, 2 RBI, 2 R, 1 BB
When Roger Maris broke Babe Ruth’s record, one of the controversies about his season was that it was the first one being played out to 162 games, whereas Ruth’s ended in 155.
