, the gargantuan Yankees slugger, is closing in on 61. And Kevin Maris, who these days feels differently about that 1998 season, believes Judge is on the brink of becoming the real home-run champ. Maris spoke with Intelligencer about why he believes his father is still the record holder, how he feels about Judge’s epic season, and why Major League Baseball needs something beyond an asterisk to handle steroid-era achievements.I’m a baseball guy.
How do you look back on 1998 now? Your family was there when McGwire broke your dad’s record. Do you regret that? Me being a baseball guy, I had my suspicions, but we only knew what we knew, just like everybody else. When he hit 61,had a picture of the family, and behind the family, there’s 40,000-whatever thousand people standing and cheering. And I’m the only one sitting because I kinda sensed something different.
When your dad broke Ruth’s record, there was talk about how to handle it because the season was longer than when Ruth played. And there was talk of whether there should be an asterisk or something, even if one was never actually placed in the record book. Now there’s at least some question of how to handle records from the steroid era.
