I agree with Roger Maris:
You'd think a Maris would be a little more tactful about split records, asterisks, and who the "real" home run king is.

Not "woke" enough for you?
Juicers are cheaters. Period.
I was just making a joke that Maris saw his accomplishment diminished with a "split" record for some asinine reason. It's odd that his heirs wouldn't recognize that. But sure, we can have that conversation.Not "woke" enough for you?

As someone else pointed out, it's just weird to single out players for one set of "cheating" circumstances, but everyone else is in the clear with their records. We can celebrate a guy in Babe Ruth that played when they literally outlawed minorities from the game, or the hitters and pitchers both in Maris' era who were on Meth....er I mean "greenies", but the 90's power hitters are so beyond the pale because of their PED use even though they technically didn't violate any MLB policy? Sorry, not buying it. The record is the record.
(Judge's accomplishments are still incredibly impressive and worth celebrating, obviously).
Someone should get Barry Pepper's thoughts on the whole matter.the other thing of note is that those comments come from the son of roger maris and not the guy who broke the record
A miracle? He played 148 games last year. He's now tied with Maris for the 7th most homers in a season.What Judge has accomplished is truly amazing. Just him staying healthy this season is a miracle. I do hope he hits #62 while in NY so the fans get to see the record go. Otherwise I hope he slams several in TX!
He’s had injuries and stretches where he missed a lot of games. In the American League he’s tied for the most. Season isn’t over yet either. Several of those top hitters were steroid monsters. Not Judge. Doesn’t need to cheat to win.A miracle? He played 148 games last year. He's now tied with Maris for the 7th most homers in a season.

You’d pass up a $2,000,000 ball for that reason? Now that is crazy.
I hope he hits one so I can catch it and throw it back on the field so I can piss all those skankees fans off!!!!
They won’t don’t that. It would be silly and poor sportsmanship. I can’t see the Rangers stooping to that level.I hope we intentionally walk his ass every atbat so Lowe of the Rangers has a chance to catch him for the batting title lmao!!!
You are no fun lolThey won’t don’t that. It would be silly and poor sportsmanship. I can’t see the Rangers stooping to that level.
