Judge’s 62nd hR Different Perspective

[bcookie]

my opinion that no one asked for:

There is no such thing as an AL or NL record. When Maris hit 61, was it in the records book AL record? No, it was MLB record.

Judge did nothing more than hit 62 home runs in the 2022 season.

One can say they don’t care about it or it shouldn’t matter, but to say there is no such thing is false. They’ve been recognized for many decades.

Hack Wilson was listed for many years in many published resources as the NL holder. League records have been around since before 1961.

What if I don't care AND it shouldn't matter?

Oh dear, this is serious. If we don’t care about pedantries of comparisons and baseball history, what else are we going to do?!

Good point.

Remind me - Who's the current record holder for strikeouts against righties during innings 3-7 on Friday night games in stadiums east of the Mississippi?

Come on man, are you even trying? Of course it’s Aloysius Jebbediah Mohammad Higgenbothom of the Carolina Cropdusters in the Mid South Association of Eastern Base Ball Clubs.

And that's why records exist - to be broken by guys named Aloysius.
