Roger Maris Jr. said it when Aaron Judge launched his 61st, and he said it again when Judge broke his father’s record on Tuesday night in Texas: the New York Yankees slugger is the true single-season home run king.

Maris Jr. was vocal with reporters in Toronto where he said MLB should change their record books to reflect that Judge is the true home run king in a single season due Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa and Barry Bonds, who all surpassed 61 home runs, being linked to performance-enhancing drugs.
