In my mind, if he hits a few more HRs he will hold the all time season home run record since he is not doing it on steroids.

I think that rather than just breaking the AL record is the reason for all the interest.

And that was only the Yankees 146th game this season. If he can get to 61 homers by their 154th game, and then add at least one more to get to 62+ by the end of the season, that would in my mind take out both Ruth and Maris from the record books (at least for non-PED users), and remove the need/reference of an asterisk. He's got 8 games to tie/beat Ruth, and 16 games to tie/beat Maris.

It sure looks like he's going to get them both the way he's been going. He's averaged a home run over every 2.474 games so far over this season. So just keeping to that average he'd be on track to hit another 6 or so homers this year. But he's really been on fire lately it seems, so if he can keep it going, who knows where he may end up. Great season and achievement for sure.

Great analysis. I totally agree 👍

I hate the Yankees, but I'm rooting for him to do it in 154 team games.
