Is anybody else tired of hearing about Aaron Judge hitting 62 HRs? Yes, it’s an amazing feat but it’s nowhere near the feat it was when Ruth hit 60. Modern ballparks have shorter fences, the baseballs are wound tighter to give more distance, the pitching mound is lower, all give an advantage to the hitter. There were 154 games in a season when Ruth played. The season Ruth hit 60 HRs, 1927, he hit more HRs than 12 other MLB teams!
