Baseball World Reacts to Roger Maris Jr. Dismissing Barry Bonds Record

Related Topics: Roger Maris, Barry Bonds, Aaron Judge

On Wednesday, Aaron Judge made history when he hit his 61st home run of the season, tying Roger Maris for the AL record. There has been some debate on whether Maris’s mark is the true single-season home run record because all those who surpassed him have been connected to the MLB’s “Steroid Era.”

After Judge tied the record, he was greeted by Maris’s son, Roger Maris Jr. Speaking to the media, Maris Jr. shared that he doesn’t believe that Bonds holds the legitimate record and called for baseball to do something while diving into his reasoning.
