ANAHEIM, Calif. -- It took 61 years for Roger Maris' American League season home run record to be broken. Aaron Judge's hold on the mark could be ended by Shohei Ohtani after one year.
"Records are meant to be broken," Judge said on Wednesday before the Yankees faced the Los Angeles Angels. "It would be exciting for the game if he we went out there and got 63-plus. So, we'll see what happens."
Ohtani went into Wednesday with 35 homers in 93 games, on pace to hit 60. Judge hit 62 last year, one more than Maris in 1961.
