Yankees’ Aaron Judge is true home run king, Chris ‘Mad Dog’ Russo declares

Christopher “Mad Dog” Russo wants the record books rewritten.

The WFAN legend believes Yankees slugger Aaron Judge is two home runs away from being baseball’s true home run king. And that he should be considered the rightful single-season leader over Barry Bonds once he passes Roger Maris and hits his 62nd homer.

“Bonds is not the single-season home run king,” Russo said on ESPN First Take. “Nor is (Mark) McGwire with the 70 home runs. Obviously Maris was the single-season, but [Judge] is going to fly by that. He’s going to hit 65, 66 home runs. He’s going to do that on a contract year.
