As people say - records are made to be broken. What's statistically interesting is that a Yankee has held the AL record for HRs in a season for almost 100 years. No, I'm not a Yankee fan, in fact most of the time I'll be rooting for the other team when the Yankees (and Dodgers) are playing.
If someone was going to do it for the Yankees, I'm happy it was Judge in his walk year. It's going to be really interesting to see how the negotiations go. I'm happy it wasn't A-rod as a Yankee that passed Maris. That would have just sucked for Yankee purists. Kind of like when Maris that passed Ruth and not Mantle, but in this case, Maris was a class act, like Judge.
Heck, the person to pass Judge could be Judge himself or maybe that player hasn't been born yet.
Records are made to be broken and when they're like this record, it's fun to watch it play out.
