He will be the home run king, breaking Maris’ record.

The ALL-TIME king. Bonds, Sosa and McGwire's "records" should be expunged.

Yes.

This is why I say Judge has tied Maris’ MLB record, not the AL record.

I have nothing against the steroid era hitters. They had to get their hits off steroid era pitchers, and MLB became boring after that time until BLM worship finally killed it in 2020.

Steroids don’t improve bat speed or hand-eye coordination. The primary thing they do is keep players with nagging injuries off of the disabled list - Bonds missed almost the entire 2005 season after he apparently stopped taking them. Steroid use thus has some effect on longevity-based all-time records, but it isn’t like Bonds, McGwire, and Sosa were taking a magic pill that made them hit home run balls farther - which is what the casual fan has been led to believe by the typically hysterical media coverage at the time.

That said, congratulations to Judge - who just pulled off a very difficult accomplishment.

Shammy Sosa also used corked bats, was awesome when he broke one, the retarded cub fans even bailed on him, absolutely Sosa was a big cheater who got caught. Announcers were speechless a laugh riot. Chicago hates him lol.
