But it's funny how Bud Selig is in the Hall of Fame as the Steroid era was done knowingly on his watch. Baseball honestly needs to change. I can't remember seeing soooooo many players on one team hitting under 220 or less.
Selig also committed collusion several times as the Brewers owner
They need to allow steroids … this is entertainment, not the Health Olympics
@@chuckschickbaldtacos are you crazy???!
Lower batting average is largely due to pitchers getting better and the evolution the amount of relief pitchers
Mostly it’s sticky stuff
Crazy how Judge is doing this in his contract year and staying healthy THE ENTIRE SEASON
It’s also crazy that once you get paid people expect you not to take a day off or take a sick leave (fake injury)
it’s like when you get a nice job your benefits are unlimited sick leaves 😂 or worst 7 hours of pto per pay check.. you use them right? People who get paid have benefits but in sports taking a break slows you down. Stanton fakes a lot of injuries same with judge in the past but since it’s time to get paid…
Almost like he might be juicing or somethin 🤔
Bout to get a big fat contract he won't even come close to living up to. Good for him lol
@UCgX59X-8D0ng_qDU40WUFYg Let's be honest with ourselves here. MLB stopped testing during covid. Playe rs had waaaay more than enough time to do multiple cycles and it would be completely out of their systems today.
Suddenly, the year after, we have a 42 year-old washed up Pujols hitting like his prime and Judge breaks homerun records left and right.
You would be naive to be 100% certain noone is juicing in baseball right now. We have no proof and probably won't, but be careful what you declare as fact because you may be disappointed in the future.
@@DG-qj9lw definitely
I remember rolling my eyes at the guys who caught those McGwire, Sosa, Bonds Homeruns saying at the time, "I don't want money, I want to give them the ball." Dude, they are multimillionaires you paid a hundred dollars for nosebleed seats, twenty bucks for a bag of peanuts, take the money you dipshhit.
Lol I catch the record breaking homerun I'm running for the exit!!
true. but they have to act like a KAREN
@Roy de Vries de Vries
No doubt. You threw a bunch of money to a guy so rich that it means nothing to him. Way to go!
Come on BE FAIR !!! If it was me with the ball I would absolutely give it back to the player……..as long as they were the highest bidder
@@johnotto4931 😃 That's the spirit!!!!!$$$
And yet Aaron Judge has stated that Barry Bonds is the record holder and not Maris.
Yeah, because only bitter old farts care about steroids.
@Roy de Vries de Vries Okay. So I guess MLB should revoke the Yankees World Series titles in 1999 and 2000 because they had known cheaters Roger Clemens and and Pettitte, right?
That's right Bonds still holds that record steroids or no steroids you still have to hit the ball... Sammy Sosa broke Maris record 3 times 66,64,63 HR's
@Roy de Vries de Vries I think MLB has treated Bonds pretty harshly. He's the best player my eyes have ever seen in over 50 years of watching baseball. And yet they keep him out of the Hall of Fame. Because he used PED's. I don't know if you guys are aware, Barry Bonds had a personal trainer, a personal gourmet chef, lifted weights with a bodybuilder's routine, and bulked up to 215 lbs. He would look like a midget standing next to Judge right now. First thing you notice after he starts taking PED's is how greatly acute his hand eye coordination improved, how greatly his swing improved, how greatly his recognition of pitches coming at him improved! That's the first thing I noticed when he was on the PED's! I saw the improvement in how he recognized pitches and said to myself "gosh darn it he must be on PEDs"!
MLB still recognizes Bonds records and stats.
It's funny how Maris got 61 home runs in 1961 and Judge just got 61 home runs 61 years later and probably gonna set a new record
illuminati confirmed
Also... Roger Maris wore jersey #9. Judge wears #99.
Funny enough, since he hit #60 he has swung at a total of 61 times!
Funny how everything is staged in professional sports
also he was hitting 61 home run 61 days after July 26, which is 61 days before the day he hit the home run record.
I think Ken Griffey Jr and Matt Williams both had really good shots at breaking it in 1994 but the strike cut it short with 2 months left on the season.
94 was the biggest crime ever committed against baseball fans.
@@djbeezy damn right it was. They could've come to some agreement to finish the season and potentially cancel the 95 season until an agreement was reached again. But as usual screw the fans.
Don't forget Frank Thomas having a legit triple crown threat year 212 AOPS+. That strike and the aftermath makes me forgive all the roiders and their records. Josh Gibson had the best season of baseball ever played anyway (1943)
@@jackshiznit69 Also, don't forget, the Expos were having a killer season and on their way to a division title. They might have robbed the Expos of a world championship.
What's crazy about '94 is that Williams had 43 in 445 at bats. Bonds hit 73 in 2001 in just 31 more ABs (476). Williams would have needed to hit a HR in ever single AB over his next 31 to best Bonds' HR/AB pace.
We also have to recognize that Sosa, McGuire, and Bonds faced juiced pitchers
There were more pitchers on roids than batters back then , actual fact.
@Roy de Vries de Vries Well you can easily look it up online , but since you tried to speak on the matter you should already know this. Thanks for playing and i appreciate you confirming your stupidity and ignorance. Carry on cupcake.👍
THIS
None of the records really matter. At the time there was a race issue, where pitchers would place the ball in a good enough spot for a home run.
@Roy de Vries de Vries Some home runs were obviously legit, some not. It's that simple. Even umpires cheated. Just like the umpire have done for years. I knew it, but also baseball announcer have acknowledge it. They called balls over strikes to force the pitcher to throw the ball down the middle.
Racist is at an all time high. The devil rules the world. God said it, and that defines these times. There's no greater wisdom that acknowledging that. And there's no one older or wiser than God.
Griffey was also still in the running for 61 home runs in 98. He fell short again hitting 56 home runs just like the year before.
Because...
@@stephenstrang590 Him and Hank Aaron are the true home run champs
@@user-iv5yk4nr4q Both used PEDs neither are innocent either 😂
@@baseline-G imagine if Griffey was on the Sauce like Bonds and McGwire, he'd have the same amount of homers if not more. That's what pisses me off about the steroid era players because it really muddies the waters on who the actual best hitter was back then.
@@user-iv5yk4nr4q who is him. Single season does not mean home run champ and it never has. That's like the rushing champ being the single season record holder. No.
No bat flip, no steroids, just a great swing. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy
Soy energy
How do you know no steroids?
No steroids? You are naive.
Go back to bed grandpa
No steroids. 🤣
Blame it on MLB and Bud Selig for turning a blind eye
Sosa and McGwire saved the game in 98 and now they’re villains. I don’t acknowledge this horse shit.
You sound like a butthurt girl.
If Griffey was juiced we would have hit 70 with ease. But I guess he just respected the game too much.
Griffy Admitted to PEDS sooo
Fuck the game
@@baseline-G lol respect the game. Wtf does that even mean
@@baseline-G Sadly if you actually watch interviews Griffy admitted to using PEDs saying he took them before they began drug testing so
@@nickr3441 I know right respect the game. I remember how many players on the Reds when Griffey was there hated him because he was a diva even when he was no longer the player that he was in Seattle.
I’m not a Yankees fan but it’s fun to watch judge
Nobody outside of NY actually likes the yankees. Its just the media gives them outsized attention. The media loves the yankees therefore you must.
If you love the yankees, this is awesome.
If you dont care for the yankees this is awesome.
If you hate the yankees, this is still awesome cause not only do you get to see history, but done by a likeable guy and if you hate the yankees you gotta love to see his contract value skyrocket.
Maris had to deal with a very brutal press at the time. The Yanks didn’t protect him from that. Hail to Maris, who held the record for 37 years - incredible.
Has New York always just been the worst?
@@tdaddy7063 I think everyone was being a cnt to maris because he was breaking a beloved record that babe Ruth, the God owned.
If it was mantle that was about ti break the record less cnts would have been hating on mantle.
There might be more to it but that is half of it
@@kiteracer2497 People actually wanted Mantle to break the record, because he was a beloved figure who had been with the Yankees for ten years and established himself as an all-time great.
He really held it for 61 years. Give those others asterisks.
@@wvu05 Ruth hit his 60th in a 155 games year. They had 1 tie, statistics counted in those games if they were 5 innings or more. No partial innings counted for stats or scores. The make up game was a full game, stats are from both. It was the same in 1961 for Maris.
Maris hit 59 homers by his 155th game, so he deserved the asterisk. The Yankees also had a tie that year and played 163 games. Maris hit his 61st in the 163rd game.
Neither Maris nor Ruth hit a home run in the tie games.
Judge hit his 61st in the 155th game, so I think he has the record and Maris keeps the asterisk although tied. But if Judge hits 1 more he is the undisputed home run king.
Bonds, McGuire and Sosa had obvious "advantages", but all know they were wrong. At best, they only deserve asterisks, they have their money, they don't deserve to be in the HOF. Kudos to Bonds for saying Maris is, now was, most likely, the home run king. Shows integrity, better late than never.
Good thing this is a baseball channel and not an elementary school level arithmetic channel.
Yankee fan here. Respect to Bonds! What a legend. Will never forgot the moonshot he hit in the Bronx. He was a mvp player in Pittsburgh and would of been a HOFer without the roids. Either way, Bud Selig was a snake who had full awareness steroids were rampant but MLB was bringing in $$$ during the roid era. Pitchers were roiding up too, so it was roids vs roids. Maris Jr is acting like a wimp. Bonds is the HR king.
I agree with your take on the steroid era, but I'm inclined to take it easy on Maris Jr. He's just sticking up for his dad.
But the rest of us? I understand people being angry at the steroid era, but there's literally nothing we can do about it now. Players reacted to their environment. Yes, Fay Vincent sent out a memo in 1991 saying that steroids/PEDs were banned and that there would be consequences for using them. But there was no way of enforcing those consequences, and no specific details about what those consequences would be. So when McGwire and Sosa and Bonds and Clemens and all the others were using the late '90s/early '00s, the reasons to take PEDs were: quicker recovery from injury, meaning increased playing time-->better strength and stamina-->improved individual performance-->improved team performance-->improved chances of playing in the postseason-->contention for major postseason awards (individual glory)-->bigger contracts, adding up to perhaps tens of millions of extra dollars in contract endorsement earnings. And what was to stop them? An unenforceable memo.
It sucks that this was the case, but we can't change that now.
Bonds is a cheating piece of trash who will go down in history as a joke. Full stop.
Exactly. Besides, What is all the commotion about? The Roger Maris record was broken already. That's doesn't make Aaron Judge a HR King. In any case he will be the Season HR leader. Like it or not to some, Barry Bonds possess the All Time Home Run Record, he is the Home Run King.
@@akhnatenra6603 it’s a shame though. Aaron judge should be acknowledged as the only person to ACTUALLY hit 62 HRs in a season. Hank Aaron is the only person to actually break Babe Ruth’s record. By saying Bonds is the home run king it completely discredits the ones who did it the honest way. Hank Aaron literally went from being GUARANTEED to not have a career by playing in the negro leagues but playing baseball for pure love of the game, to breaking the most coveted record in all of sports. Bonds took drugs just so his name could be first on that list, without actually enduring the struggle and consistency that it takes to get there. Baseball is a game about failure and Bonds took the easy way out.
@@ryanash4681 Bonds wasnt the only one who did roids. If it was so easy how come only Bonds got to 70+ homeruns? McGuire and Sosa were roided up to the gills and didnt even come close. What Bonds did wasnt easy even if you were on steroids. Tons of steroid hitters like Giambi Canseco Arod etc. If steroids made it easy then other players would of been hitting 60 hr automatically. Bonds is the only one who hit that peak. Its just facts.
Thing is, science has given current athletes many legal advantages that past players didn't have. Not to mention that tampering of baseballs, and it's also harder now days for pitchers to cheat
Your statement is confusing, so do they have an advantage today or do they not? Because pitchers can't cheat.
@@CinHalCedHerChance That is a completely false statement. Pitchers can and do cheat, they are not supposed to be allowed to.
Roids help you recover faster, end of story. Judge is amazing. You and Jomboy are my go to fix for baseball, keep it up brother.
And reaction time, which is pivotal in baseball. It might even help with seeing moving objects better in general and just wiring your brain to be better at this type of stuff. Testosterone is a hell of a drug, it’s what makes men better at physical tasks in a variety of ways compared to women. I wouldn’t be surprised if taking test or test mimicking substances or whatever steroid, wires your brain in more ways to make hitting a baseball easier.
Very interesting points Ryan.
Also the extra power to turn average pop ups into home runs. I watched bonds in 01. He would hit some lazy pop ups that would be home runs 😆 along with hitting balls insane distanced of course.
Thank you Jesus. The advantage with steroids is faster recovery and more plate appearances. More chances = more home runs and the extra power didn’t hurt either. All those smooth brains out there thinking it’s only about distance have never been prescribed steroids for an injury. They’re borderline miraculous.
He didn’t beat the record by 40 HRs. It’s perfectly reasonable for the juice to account for the extra 13 homers.
No Baseball Bits, Foolish Baseball, or Baseball Isn't Real? Come on dude, you're missing out!
Judge is a great great player big guy that plays with unreal athletic ability runs well throws well plays great defence runs the bases well and is a monster that hits bombs … he is the King
Red Sox fan here. Couldn't agree more with Roger Maris Jr
6 people have 60 home run seasons.
3 Yankees who never took PEDs
and 3 National Leaguers who were juiced to the Max.
To me Judge will hold the single season record and
Hank Aaron will always be the home run king .
I agree with Roger Maris jr and I’m sure hank Aaron did as well. A record should not be honored if a person had to use drugs that gave them an unfair advantage. MLB lost its integrity or maybe it never had any.
Never had it ..
Yes I agree
I've said it before and I'll say it again. Players in Maris's day were cranked on amphetamines. Sure, it's pretty short term, but it won't make you unnaturally huge. And to get an idea of how it fits in as a PED, Daryl Strawberry described it as putting the game on slo-mo and making the baseball look like a beach ball. Personally, I don't care if anybody takes PEDs. The 90's will always be my favorite era of baseball
Another goofy argument in these comments.
Whatever the players in the 60’s were on got them so jacked that only one player reached 60 until the 90s were two reached it in same season
@@playlistiphone8743 I'm not saying that the juice didn't help most of the players in the 90's (Even though most people overlook that the majority of them were pitchers) But the fact is , PEDs have played a role in MLB for far longer than just the steroid era. It's time people accept that and just move on. If everyone is clean nowadays, great. I'm sure Judge is clean. Dude's naturally built like a a NYC skyscraper, and the way hitting is coached these days, steroids don't really have much a place anymore. But let's not pretend that it 90's were the only controversial era in MLB. They were just the MOST controversial, because nobody gave a shit about greenies in the 80's or the Red Juice that players prior to that drank. Hint: It wasn't Gatorade
@@99bimmer I don’t think Judge is clean!
Don’t forget about the league being segregated back then. If people want to discredit Bonds, then I can come up with a dozen reasons why the other records don’t count
@@Isaac-lt6fk
another goofy argument.
Your boy along with his fellow rood mates aren’t getting in the hall of fame and will forever have an * by their name.
Get over it.
lol
Don’t forget Bonds also stole basses and won gold gloves too. No one ever talks about the other things yes he was hard to play or get along. Plus he also was 600 Homeruns and 600 stolen bases
On the juice
You can cite all the juiced stats you want and it makes no difference at all. He was a f-king cheater who will go down in history as a f-ing joke. The end. Deal with it.
Juice doesn’t make you run fast
I didn’t make the the reply he did or didn’t juice just pointing out the facts on his other accomplishments
Read the post before you open your mouth or write something stupid
I don’t even watch pro ball anymore
They get paid way more than they deserve
Yes, and Ruth won 100 games as a ptcher
“1961 to 1998, 27 years to be exact.”
Am I really high, or is that 37 years?
Crap you're right. Lol, sorry! My bad
@@iTalkStudios It’s ok, I thought I was going insane.
Guys, lets face it. Throughout a good portion of the 20th century, greenies were used A LOT. Willie Mays, Mickey Mantle & Henry Aaron, all admitted to using them at different points in their careers. At the time, amphetamines were illegal to use in the USA without a prescription, but widely used in ballplayers. Just like anabolic steroids during the 1990's & early 2000's. So, I will say it over & over. Even the guys in the 60's took something, especially when testing for it wasn't super great yet & also wasn't technically against any rules as of yet for the sport. So, I really like what the Maris family stands for & Roger Maris is my all time favorite Yankee ever. But, I don't think that discredits the Eye to Ball coordination from Sosa, McGuire, Bonds etc.. On top of all that, the majority of players were doing something during this time. So, I say that is an equal playing field since the majority of players were using something.
Bingo!
Totally agree!
Spot on. And yeah, Coke was BIG in the early 20th century. There was NO was the Babe (fa+ a$$) could run the bases and field so fast like he could. Dude was ripping HRs and pitching the next inning. No one ever tries to 'verbally' take anything away from him, and neither would I! Get over it haters.
This is a profoundly lazy comparison - do greenies provide the same edge as steroids when it comes to launching a baseball over the wall? - and leaves out two all-important names in Roger Maris and Aaron Judge: What were their relationships to performance enhancing drugs? They took none as far as anyone knows. So it stands: Maris was the single-season home run king, and Judge now is.
@@IoannisGats Um no Judge is not the single season home run king Bonds literally is. Do you say the Yankees won the year the Astros cheated?And yes Maris took greenies lol, all the players in his day did, it helps you see the ball better and your reaction time lol, so yes it helps to hit home runs And we don't know what Judge took in his contract year to make him hit better than he ever has.
Steroids did not help Mark McGwire hit 49 in his rookie year before steroids and he definitely doesn’t strike out as much as Aaron judge or Giancarlo
Sad that Roger Maris Jr, doesn't seem to remember the trials and discrimination his dad faced when breaking Babe's record. For him to outright state Bonds' record should be overlooked is no different than the mindset that put an asterisk in the record book, and ultimately his father dying without ever being truly recognized for the amazing season he had in 1961. I'm not a fan of any of the guys above Maris in the record book, but what they did were still incredible in their own rights and deserve to be recognized.
Garbage, why recognize a cheater?
@@crk140 cheater who never failed a drug test.
@@johnwayne9828 get real man. He admitted to doing it. Christ look at him. People are so damn dumb it's unbelievable
@@crk140 no, he never admitted to taking steroids.....and he never failed a test. Keep coping.
@@johnwayne9828 you find Google yet fool?
Sosa, McGuire, and Bonds all need an asterisk next to their names. Ruth, Maris, and Judge are the real home run kings.
I believe if someone uses the juice they should be disqualified their home run shouldn’t be “counted that’s my opinion that is cheating because you could take a standard flyball have someone who doesn’t use and then some of it does juice put it in the bleachers put it in the bleachers is a fair no that’s why I agree with you and Marris Junior that he should hold the record Aaron Judge
If you try to disregard what Barry bonds did for baseball and the home run record then you have to disregard basically a bunch of seasons because bonds was not the only one who did steroids in the steroid era and for better or worse the steroid era is apart of baseball history and you can’t tell baseball history without the story of Barry Bonds, you can’t hit the ball if you don’t swing the bat but that’s just my opinion and if people think differently it’s fine not everybody is a fan of bonds but not everyone is a fan of judge either it’s just who your a fan of will make you think differently things and that’s fine just don’t bonds accomplishments don’t matter because they do just as much as judge’s accomplishments do
Exactly. Also, Bonds did steroids in an era when almost everyone was using some kind of ped, including pitchers. But none hit like Bonds. If ped's automatically made you great then anyone who takes or took them would've hit 73 HRs. But again, none did.
just because other people cheated doesn't make it at all redeemable that he did too
Why did he break the record at age 37 then? Bonds was for sure a hall of famer before PED’s and I agree he is an all time great but I don’t think he ever would have been the home run king without them. There is a reason other players who came close did it in their primes not at age 37
Say what you want, Barry would not have all those home runs without those roids.
records set by cheaters have been stripped of records in other sports and it can be done in baseball. What about the fact that he's not getting HoF consideration?
Judge is the single-season home run king if he gets #62.
Guys in track and field like Ben Johnson are not recognized for the records
they broke while on steroids, so Bonds shouldn't be either. It's as simple as that.
Congratulations Aaron Judge on being the single-season home run king.
Because those guys failed drug tests genius. Bonds never did lol .
@@meltednostrilsbornwithoutn781 No, Bonds only failed to tell the truth!!!
@@alanmerritts He never failed a drug test genius. That is irrelevant to if he admitted it or not. The examples he gave the guys failed drug tests, they didn't confess. Damn people are stupid .
No the home run King is Hank Aaron.
Bonds beat em all, even if you remove the steroid years his stats are still better than all of em. Forget home runs, he may be the best all around player ever.
@@Skaz1hiphop bonds is the jackass that lied about all his use so we have NO clue when he did and didnt use. All of his stats have an asterisk next to them and thats his fault.
@@Skaz1hiphop He was one of the greats, no doubt. But his cheating leaves a stain on his legacy.
@@Skaz1hiphop perhaps but Henry Aaron owns that record in everyone's heart. He is the undisputed Home Run King. Great you can do something for a single season good luck doing it for multiple decades.
This is correct
Bonds, Sosa, MCGuire could have hit 100 Home-runs and I would still consider Maris's 61 the true record.
Yet if I was a fantasy manager I would walk bonds and take my chances with judge or maris but I would not walk them to get to bonds no way ever
Yep
I would point out bonds is juicing, have him tested and suspended for the season.
@@drewbreezy5854 wasn't against the rules at the time baseball is a game of cheating and stealing, never played as a kid huh?
@@drewbreezy5854 Bonds never failed a steroids test so your accusations hold no weight.........I forgot about the amphetamines lol
@@20money17 Hank Aaron used Amphetamines as a player but people don’t want to talk about that
While I understand your perspective on most of this video, I'm actually going to disagree on the "fact" that steroids "don't help hand eye coordination or squaring up a baseball." One of the things that came out was that Bonds openly admitted to another teammate that the cream and the clear put him "in the zone." He said he was never more locked in in his career. And I think his numbers very clearly showed that to be true. If you want to argue that's just a mental thing, and doesn't actually help his hand eye coordination, go ahead and believe that. You're allowed. But comparing *his own numbers* against his previous numbers, especially at the age he was, involved more than just power and a really short right field fence. He was literally seeing the ball better and reacting better than he ever had before. And HE put that on the roids
I read that PED's improve sight, which is paramount for the hitter.
That may be true, but he sure paid the price. He had that one stellar season, then went down hill over the next two, then, retired due to health reasons. Having seen that happen to both Mark McGuire and Barry Bonds, and to a lesser extent, Sammy Sosa, you have to ask yourself, "How long do you want to play baseball?" If you're in it for the long haul, Arron Rodgers is doing it right. If you're looking to make a 'quick buck' and get out of it, I can see why someone might consider steroids and other PED's. Keep in mind, you're ruining your health for LIFE!
Most like that would be an amphetamine like Ritalin or Adderall dudes still be getting popped for not getting exemptions for it even though it’s shouldn’t be allowed if they actually wanted a clean sport
I used to say the same, that steroids don’t help you with hand eye coordination and Bonds really did not benefit since his home runs were mostly bombs anyway. I was wrong.
Steroids make all of your muscles stronger. Your eyes have 6 muscles in them to help movement. You absolutely get better coordination on steroids.
Maris did not have on his arms the bulk of arm surport that levels the swing.check out photos of mcquira : sosa ; bonds they all had on they arms bulk as do some ball players wear today.maris had none of that.his swing did not depent on arm as mentle .maris was bare arms as was mantle.check out
To the hand-eye coordination argument regarding PEDs, yeah it might not have a direct impact on that, but in terms of bat speed and ability to catch up to a hard fastball while the pitcher is mixing up fastballs and off speed pitches, it can definitely help a hitter squarely barrel a ball they might otherwise foul off or pop up, or hit a ball farther when caught off balance (i.e. not “getting all of it”). So in that respect it can certainly help a hitter square up more pitches for home runs they otherwise wouldn’t and the inflated numbers during the steroid era appear to back this up.
Well said!
The biggest effect is that it allows 'Roid users to play much longer without having their body breaking down or their skills declining that is a natural process of an aging athlete. It also helps them recover from workouts and injuries much faster than a "clean" player. Look at how little time Bonds spent on the DL late in his career...it wasn't physical fitness and clean living that caused it.
Not a Giants fan, Bonds is a beast and should be in the HOF. Not a Yankee fan either, I try and watch them as much as possible lately due to the fact that they are fun to watch with Judge doing what he’s doing. I enjoy this channel and jomboy as well! Keep up the great work!
NO, he's a confirmed cheater, the "hand eye coordination" agreement is BS, and its empirically obvious. The fact that Bonds isn't in the HoF shows that the sports media considers his records suspect.
I would never visit a Hall of Fame who knowingly inducted cheaters.
Judge is a huge Giants fan which is interesting he looked up to Bonds
@@playlistiphone8743 well there are plenty of "cheaters" in the HOF even though most of them didn't actually cheat because it wasn't against the rules
Nope
Some research has shown that some PED's do increase reaction time, which is my only problem with the juicers. But also gotta remember that literally everyone was using back then
FYI, literally everyone is taking something now, too.
@@stuffbenlikes I think Judge is on GH, he leaned up alot this season and face looks more chiseled even. But you're right, many players are on stuff, not to mention just the increased fitness resources/nutrition that wasn't really the case when Bonds played. But when you compare the old school players to the new school, it looks like men compared to boys. Except Judge, who's a freak.
I think Albert pujols has been taking peds recently
@@Flexb123 Growth hormone gives you a rounder face. It doesn't chisel it up.
No research is needed. The fact that they can with steroids and can't without makes it pretty obvious.
The grey area of people in the hall that juiced is not good for the game nor the record books. Omit all from the hall and wipe the books clean, or let them in and keep the records. Don’t pick and choose. Either way you go, that way, you won’t have son whining about dad’s record anymore, and ruin the moment for Aaron Judge by having Maris Jr.’s quote overshadow Judge’s feat.
Bonds had a head the size of the $100 pumpkin at Purcell’s pumpkin patch.
Roger Marris Jr has made a career of his dad's achievement
How else is anyone going to know who he is?
Correct...👍
More power to him.
He's a bitter old fart.
Smart man.
Aaron Judge is the perfect example of a players of today taking advantage of all the things they have available to them in today's game. Although Maris did not have the perks that today's players have, Mickey Mantle was hitting right behind him so they had to pitch to him. No one on today's Yankees strikes fear into the heart of pitchers the way Mantle did back then. So I take my hat off to the new Home Run king of the AL with no other comparable threat in the Yankee's batting order it's a great accomplishment.
I'm a Mets fan but respect the Yankees. Congratulations Aaron Judge. He's a class act. No juice no cheating. The all time homerun leaders are Hank Aaron and Babe Ruth period.
MLB thinks otherwise but whatever makes u feel better smh
Aaron Judge is what I picture a guy like Jim Thorpe was like. A guy that could be elite athletically at almost anything he put his mind too. Also, could you imagine what his season would be like if the HR steroid crowd had not passed 61.
Judge isnt half the athlete Thorpe was. Dude was an Olympian and a legend in multiple sports. Dumb comparison.
He may not have had all of Thorpe’s skill, but Judge could have certainly played several positions in the NFL, with his size. Baseball is lucky he likes to swing a bat. He could have given Gronk a run for his money.
@@johnwayne9828 He wasn't comparing. He said how he pictured Jim Thorpe. He also gave Thorpe props about being good at anything he put his mind to. Dumb comment.
@@johncassani6780 that's purely because he's big and strong. When i think of athletes, i think of Mookie Betts, Deion Sanders and Bo Jackson
Well Judge is part of the steroid crew so there’s that.
last time i checked 73 is more then 61
I just double checked and through the very scientific method of counting I can confirm this.
What boggles my mind about Judge is that he's doing this as a right hander in Yankee Stadium. Maris and Ruth were lefties who got to take advantage of that short right field porch. If you could put him in front of a magic mirror and suddenly he'd be a lefty...
/That said, it looks like Maris had pretty good road/home splits.
Judge has got some cheap shots to right in Yankee Stadium.
No way any real man would consider that the AL record its a kids ball park. my grandmother could hit a home run at Yankee stadium.
Matt Williams had a legit shot as well, when the Strike happened, it ended the season early.
As a baseball fan I’m NOT promoting the steroid era as ok but when everyone is doing it, I don’t believe we could just pick on a few. I’m a Cardinals fan and I’m partial to Pujols! Judge is wonderful. I like it that Judge seems to be a complete player. Pujols has never done drugs or test dirty either. Nice upload
I don’t understand why guys like you keep saying everyone was doing it
You really think that Pujols was/is clean?!🙄
Neither was Bonds!
@@TheRongy never failed a test. Do we just assume everyone cheats nowadays because they’re good? Ruth prolly did greenies then. Do did mays and Henry
@@Chuida17 I am with you! My reply was to the OPs comment that Pujols never tested positiv!
The impact of steroids was undeniable. There were exactly 3 50 home run seasons between 1962 and 1994 ( Willie Mays, George Foster, and Cecil Fielder). All of a sudden you have multiple 60 plus home run seasons in the same year. You also see Punch and Judy hitters hitting 50 home runs. Steroids are so much more impactful than amphetamines or bat corking. It isn’t even close. I hate the Yankees, but I agree with Roger Maris Jr. that Aaron Judge should be the single season home run king and Hank Aaron should be the all-time home run king. I hope that Bonds,
Both Maris and Judge are great homerun hitters. I find no fault with either one. Keep in mind, they both played clean. Respect to both is due.
How the heck do you know Judge is clean?
@@xxbodycountxx7626 Did he gained a bunch of mass for this year? If he is hiding anything, he deserves an academy award.
@@xxbodycountxx7626 thank you
Judge was just given pitches right down the middle so I think he isn’t the home run king
Fr
Pujols got the same treatment to make sure he reached 700. Every pitch he was getting the last month or so were beachballs right down the plate.
Barry Bonds doesn't even need a bat to get on base. That's how good he was. His eye hand coordination and quickness was insane.
Rarely see him get fooled and take a bad swing , maybe once but never twice
Yeah there’s a bunch of players in the majors with great hand eye coordination but it takes more than that to be able to hit the ball out of most ballparks. Bonds did the illegal way. This is about the home run record not just getting on base.
@@ernestodelgadillo5103 you're right, he did cheat, but in order to hit a home run, you have to *hit* the ball. That's what made him dangerous. He could connect at anything in the zone and if he did, you were going to pay.
@@garrettmorano3038 and yes you’re right about him making contact but there’s a huge difference between hitting a single double triple and hitting out of the park. Without taking steroids do you truly believe he would’ve had all those dingers. Do you remember what he looked like when he played with the pirates?
If he's so fucking great, why did he need to cheat..? He's a racist, cheating bum... 🤮🤮
For clarification you said that it's never been proven that barry took steroids. That's incorrect. He's never been proven to have "knowingly" take steroids. He admitted to taking the clear, however his defense was that he thought it was flaxseed oil
Judge is the real record holder. Judge hit 62 clean. And In the “analytics era”
Most walks in MLB history?
Barry Bonds. Greatest player ever.
Correct...👍🇺🇸🍻
Have you been injecting 'roids directly into your brain?
Most doubles hit off of a left handed pitcher in the month of June while over 10,000 fans in attendance who actually drove to the ballpark after dropping their kids off to their best friends house then stopping for ice cream which happened to be chocolate with sprinkles? Barry Bonds. Greatest player ever. Lol idiot.
If Bonds is so great why is he sitting on the outside looking thru the doors of Cooperstown? It’s simple. He’s not respected because he’s not legit even though he already had enough talent before he went on Roids to get in to the HOF. But he wanted more and more stats that led to his demise. Players stats go down on the back of any baseball card as they get older, not goes up like Bonds.
Ruth, no question.
I want to thank the Lord for Aaron judge. A good player and a good human being 😭😭😭😭😭.
You know him personally
Yes, Judge and Maris are the true kings. Bonds said steroids don't help you hit the ball better. No, what they do is keep you performing at peak late in the season when everyone else is breaking down and feeling the grind.
Funny, isnt judge on the IL basically every year? Full season this year, must be juicing.
Interesting info
"Personally, I think that those records are tainted, and therefore I’m rooting very much for Judge,” former baseball Commissioner Fay Vincent said. “I think he’s absolutely clean. I don’t think there’s any performance-enhancing drug involvement or taint with Judge. And so I think one of the reasons his performance is so illuminating and so compelling is that it’s totally clean.” (I "think") Bonds never tested positive for steroids either so... Maybe MLB has a problem but it's not these players problem. 73 is the record, period.
Correction: 37 years for Maris record to be broken
well said
Only cheaters would acknowledge 37 years. 61 years is the truth for honest people.
Conspiracy Barry Bonds never failed a drug test
So true, but he was a jerk to people and reporters, which makes him the perfect villain.
Fact.
No, but he came into the major leagues built like a wide receiver, and left with the build of a modern NFL edge rusher. Even his cap size and shoe size expanded. Take your accusations of conspiracy and shove them up your ass. Bonds cheated.
It’s quite literally not true and not a fact. Just look it up, he tested positive for amphetamines so he was certainly taking something to see the ball better
Bonds was a client of BALCO
Oh so some guy who nobody knows said some stuff to help sell newspapers. He was legit just asked a question so they could get that exact answer out of him by a squeaky little reporter for this exact reason, to start drama for the ooohs and ahhs. Baseball can't just retroactively shut out people who helped them rebuild their image after they did a lot to screw up it up for themselves. Bonds, Sosa, Mcgwire were getting eyes on the sport like never before, and baseball did everything they could to enable them. Baseball has to live with that.
glad someone could accomplish something so the child of a guy who accomplished something 60 years ago can feel relevant for 15 seconds
We’re not gonna act like Barry doesn’t exist because judge tied a record that Barry broke.
Bonds was on steroids.
@@szlava3641 Aaron and the greats of the 1960's were on Amphetamines. So let's diminish their accomplishments -- to be fair.
@@szlava3641 so was most of 90’s Yankees teams and 2009 team. Do they’re titles not count?
@@Hacksaw_HIM_Thuggin
Regardless, Bonds’ record doesn’t. Period.
@@johnhill762 alright so neither do the 90’s Yankees titles. Or 2009 title count.
Roger Maris was on barbiturates, how about that Jr.
You mean amphetamines, don't you?
In the record book,bonds is recognized as the player with the most homers in a single season.
but he won't be a hall of famer sooooo there's that
@@laterm6006 ,plenty of players are in the hall of fame.no has 762 homers life time,73 homers in a single year and 7 MVP awards.its all in the official records.in addition 262 walks in one year.bonds was baseball.
Sorry,bonds had 232 walks in one year.
Jr just sounds so salty
In the end, Judge is in his prime as a player...I would like him to have a season where he ends with 75 & shut down any arguments
There's no argument. Bonds was a fraud and a cheater. Everyone knows it. He doesn't hold any records that were achieved solely through hard work.
Never gonna happen
It could happen in a stadium with a short field, either left or right. Also possible with Colorado Rockies if April is unusually warm.
Maris’ record stood for 37 years. Man can’t do math
It stood for 37 years in MLB. It stood for 61 years in the American league. What's the confusion?
@@soulsunderseige4946 guy in the video said it stood for 27 years
How much "speed" or whatever '61 drug did Maris use to keep playing hurt?
Everyone cheats. Not everyone admits to weakness.
Throwing shade at Bonds seems hypocritical when taking the long view of history.
Steroids DEFINITELY saved baseball there's no question about it, baseball was dying after the strikes and the "deadball" area I love a good pitching match up but the majority of people and especially the casual fan want offense. Well in the late 80s and most of the 90s offense is what they got and Roids helped
BONDS! The juice does not help you square the ball up, it helps to keep one from snagging injuries and faster recoveries.
I got to watch Aaron Judge play live last year in the NYY stadium and absolutely loved it ever minute of it! I just wish I knew what he was going to become a year later. He’s always been great but damn I had no idea I was watching a legend in the making!
I’m going to see the Yankees at the season finale this year. At Texas. I’m so excited
Agree on hand / eye coordination. But the power certainly does play. Would some of those balls been a warning track fly balls if he didn't bulk up with Balko?
He took amphetamines to see the ball better. He tested positive and it’s 100% confirmed
There is no argument that steroids when combined with the proper workout routine will give you more strength.
And Bonds is the PERFECT example of it giving you more home run power.
Its pretty clear that Bonds started taking steroids around 1999. Just look at his body, his freaking dome grew!
Anyway, he went from a 30-40 home run kind of player to hitting 49, 73, 46, 45, and 45 home runs all the while increasing his yearly walks by 50-100.
It is clear that steroids increased his power and hitting ability by a significant margin.
To summarize, Bonds was a hall of famer before the roids, but he was the home run king and a cheater afterwards.
Bonds is clearly the HR king… and the most feared hitter ever.
I forgot… how many homers does Maris Jr. have? Just because your dad was great doesn’t mean your opinion counts for shit
There is no way of knowing what each player may or may not have used to help them along. I think that the steroid era players should not be punished for doing what they could to play better. In every sport players have done what made them must-see athletes. And in the process the popularity of that sport has risen, even while those in charge and making more money because of these ‘cheaters’ never thought it necessary to refund any money to those fans that have been ‘cheated’. It is so hypocritical that racists and scam artists and below average players (Tinkers-Evers-Chance) are enshrined.
I agree with you, If you juiced me up let me bat, I still wouldn’t be able to hit one home run in mlb,
When you use steroids to break records of players who did it naturally then you are a cheater and don't deserve the record. True baseball fans know who the real leaders are.
Breaking the rules or our laws just to make it doesn't make it right. Breaking the rules and getting away with it is one thing but breaking the rules and having it known is embarrassing and it shouldn't be rewarded. Might as well teach our children to break the rules.
I really don't give a shit what Maris thinks. He's naval Lint compared to Bonds or Griffey or 50 other players I can think of. Bonds is the most gifted hitter to ever pick up a bat. And there's only a small handful of players that even belong in a conversation with him, but they still fall short of the unfingreal force he was at the plate. His talent as a hitter was something we never saw before and most likely will never see it again. He was on another level compared to everyone else
I swear it's like Bonds fans have smooth brains. Yes he was amazing. Even before the steroids. But once you cheat that's it. He will always be questioned because of that. Is using PEDS breaking the rules in sports? Yes. Did he takes PEDS? Yes. End of story.
@@roboninja3194 By that logic lets question everyone from the early 1900's to about the 80's then. 85% of the league was on Dexedrine aka "Greenies". Which speed up your heart rate, heighten your senses, increase your alertness, aggression, and reaction time. Ted Williams brought the dam things with him to to WW2. Stop picking and choosing who you wanna crucify and just follow the stats. Unless u were following these players all day everyday and can attest to their purity. most of them were cheating in same way
It would make for an interesting video to analyze Barry Bonds’ 73 home runs and how far they were hit. There has to be some sort of average number floating around of what % steroid use increases your strength, and using that percent, try to calculate how many YOU think would have been hit had he not been using steroids. Or just speculate which ones were close not using a percentage and just break down where the shots under 400 ft were hit and if you think they would’ve been out or not. I know it doesn’t account for fast twitch muscles for reaction time, and it would be simply speculation with some supporting data. But I think it might make for a spicy video that holds some value in analyzing the grey area.
How about analyzing his 688 IBBs and how much more home runs he would have hit?!
Dude was a beast and well on his way to the hall of fame before steroids. He had 3 freaking mvps before he ever juiced. Well within reason to believe he had a chance to break it with or without the roids.
Bonds is the greatest player ever with or without roids lol
Ruth
73 Home Runs say otherwise, it's that simple.
Rewarding a cheater is unethical, simple. We should all cheat and teach our children to cheat. 73 isn't shit. 62 the right way. Look Mom no steroids'.
One must remember Roger Clemens, who the Red Sox let go because he was in the declining years of his career. Suddenly, he appears with The Blue Jay's, looking like Hulk Hogan & winning Cy awards. Same with Bonds & Sosa. Why isn't Roger in the HOF? Hack Wilson made it with one single stat. 151... Give Judge all the credit of which He deserves.
I'll never get the hand eye coordination argument, it doesn't matter steroids help with recovery, so these guys were always in tip top shape regardless of 162 game season, and when they did make contact they are simply hitting the ball harder than they would without the PED's. How many of their homers would've ended up being impressive fly balls ?
If people remember bonds was the most walked player ever steroids dont do that he was skilled barry bonds is the home run king
Well, he was the most walked because he was hitting home runs at such a ridiculous rate, and steroids can help with that.
@@camicawber the whole league was on the juice they never hit 50 homers
I’m surprised that you didn’t mention Pujols reaching 700 home runs.
Because he's not a Yankees and we all know Yankee fans don't really respect baseball, only just their team
@Willson Tavarez LOL
Aaron Judge's new smile looks very nice and natural! Hope he gets #62 soon.
Bonds isn't out there talking like he is or that his record is legitimate. This just seems petty. Bonds stays in his own lane, this guy should try it. He's getting a little too comfortable speaking out when he hasn't done anything to warrant that type of respect aside from being born to someone we respected.
his father isn’t here and last I checked, there is freedom of speech in USA and Canada. I don’t see how anyone can have a problem with someone defending his father’s legacy.
@@playlistiphone8743 free speech in Canada? Lol. That’s hilarious
@@playlistiphone8743 Why are you bringing up freedom of speech like I want him jailed or something? Of course he's defending his fathers legacy but that's the issue I have, it's completely biased and just because he's saying something doesn't make it a fact i.e. who the homerun king is. Being born to someone who has earned respect doesn't mean you also get that same respect.
@@GenerationalDisappointment
that’s ridiculous, I’m not saying he deserves your respect but you’re acting like he has no business giving his opinion regarding his father’s legacy.
Did you say bias as if only the Maris family are the only ones who believe Roger was the true King before Judge tied him?
Thanks for the comedy.
I wonder what people are going to say about Judge when they find out years from now that he was roided up too...? He may not even know but look at the elite athletes theese days and say with a straight face they're all natural...
Well would steroid even help, he's 6,7. He huge that does come with down sides. Where balls low are getting called strikes but. He never failed a test.
What people don’t realize is that in Babe Ruth’s time, there weren’t as many games in the season. The year Roger Maris was in the home run chase, 1961, the MLB added more games to the regular season. In the amount of games that existed in Babe Ruth’s time, Maris would have only finished the season with 59 homers, not 61. If Babe Ruth played the extra 7 games or whatever, do you really not think for a second that he wouldn’t have hit at least 1 homer? Just something to think about.
Also realize that the competition during Maris’s era was much tougher then Ruth’s. Similar to how the pitching competition is even better today making Judge’s 61 even more impressive.
@@P0PE_F0X That’s true too. There are many things to put into consideration when talking about this
What about plate appearances?
The steroid era also included steroid pitchers, that shouldn’t be overlooked
Idk about yinz but when I was little I had no idea about steroids or anything like that going on. I was 7 in 97 and just loved watching McGuire and Sosa crush home runs. Steroid era of baseball was an amazing time that everyone enjoyed. STOP THE CAP!
Yinz? Yinz? Do we have a Yinzer here? Can't blame you for not being a Bonds hater, due to your age, but I'm old enough to remember the choking dog Bonds going straight into the toilet in 3 consecutive post-seasons. And don't even get me started on how he could not throw out the slowest player in the Major Leagues, Sid Bream, from medium left-center field with the NL pennant on the line.
He and Andy van Slyke were both there, and if he lets van Slyke make that throw, Bream never scores, he's the 3rd out in the bottom of the 9th, and the Braves go into extra innings with zero position players on the bench...when Francisco Cabrerra went up to bat, he was the last bench player. (Of course, Jim Leyland needed to have his ass kicked for allowing Doug Drabek to go out and start the 9th. He was totally out of gas ending the 8th, and he had both Bob Walk and Tim Wakefield available and ready. Both had warmed up in the 8th. Stan Belinda was the "closer," but he sucked out loud.)
Not that I'm bitter 30 years later, or anything like that.
What people forget that Maris took 162 games to break Babe Ruth's single season record (60), of which the regular season during his time was 154 games (the AL went to 162 games when they expanded in 1961). Aaron Judge tied Maris' single-season record (61) playing in the Yankees' 155th regular season game, thus Judge broke Ruth's record in the old 154-game season format (the 155th game being the tie-breaker game that would have been played if necessary in order to determine the winner of the AL Pennant) and with seven games to go, provided that opposing teams do not intentionally walk Judge, he will definitely break Maris' single-season record at 62 and counting(?).
all of those are moot points if only two players reached 61 clean since expanding to 162 games all those decades ago
As a 10 year old in 1998 that home run chase is hands down why baseball is still my favorite sport
One of your favorite memories is a lie
@@sadeewingfield1784 you're parents are a lie, you're adopted.
I was 10 in 1961, when everyone belittled Maris because it took 162 game season.
Well it brought baseball back after the the strike that damaged the MLB fan support. And then Canseco dropped dime on it all.
The late 90s was the best time to be a kid 🙌🙌
idgaf Bonds is still a top 3 hitter of all time in my book. he had a hall of fame career BEFORE he started doing roids.
when I was a kid I grew up a huge fan of Mark Mcgwire and Jose Canseco.( I grew up in the bay area). later when I found out they did steroids I lost respect for them. its to bad because they were my idols growing up. im glad to see Aaron Judge doing this clean. and Ill gladly accept him as the new home run king if he hits 62.
Me too
"Barry Bonds did it juiced up"? funny how you only mention McGuire's use (and admission) of steroid in passing when HE broke the record. Or how Sosa is also suspected of "juicing up. Bonds has the record deal with it, Maris' opinion and three bucks will get you a ride on the subway, that's all.
It's obvious from before and after pictures of the other 'home run' kings that they were taking steroids. Judge should officially be named the single season home run record holder if he hits his 62nd home run. Just like Henry Aaron should still be the all time home run king.
Even if I weren't a Yankee fan, I would still say Judge is the HR king. I was happy for the record to be broken in 1998, but once those guys failed their tests, MLB needed to remove those stats. I never approved of the 73 HRs in 2001 because that guy had more drugs in him than a NYC junkie. Now MLB must revisit this issue and finally remove all HRs records over Judge's 62. Judge is the HR king.
The steroid era was the best time in baseball history!! and 1998 was the best year ever steroids or no steroids!! there was not one human being on this planet that I knew or that anyone knew that was not following the home run race! it's the only time that I can look back and remember everyone everyone!!! No matter what they were doing would stop and watched each and time that Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa came up to bat!!! That year is one of the best memories of my life that year and the 1986 world Series!
Well said. These young kids don’t know what they missed
I couldn't have cared less when it was going on. It was obviously tainted.
