With his 61st home run Wednesday in Toronto, Aaron Judge finally tied Roger Maris’ American League single-season home run record. The presumptive AL MVP and the rest of the New York Yankees have Thursday off, followed by seven final games with the Baltimore Orioles and Texas Rangers. Every baseball fan who is able should seek a screen when Judge is up to bat, at least for this weekend in the Bronx, to see if he can claim the AL record outright. When folks measure up Judge’s season against the best in MLB history, it will deserve that billing — and highlight just how extraordinary Barry Bonds was.
