Exactly. Same with A-Rod. These dudes were all great fukking hitters with great mechanics. They just happened to play during a time period where the pressure was on and everyone was roided up. That doesn’t excuse them taking drugs but it also doesn’t take away from the amazing talents they had.

and Judge did it in 154 games. The reason why 61 had an asterisk to some is because Maris had 8 extra games to do it. Now that argument is dead forever.

When Ruth hit 60, the regular season length was 154 games. In 1961 (the year Maris hit 61), the season in the AL was extended to 162 games (the NL didn't extend the season to 162 til the following year). Thus, the commissioner gave Maris' 61 home runs an asterisk, since he didn't break Ruth's record til the final day of the season.
