6 to be precise.

Babe Ruth, Roger Maris, Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa, Barry Bonds, and Aaron Judge. That's it, and half of those guys were juiced.
ONly 3 in the non steroid era

Yeah, that was my thought too. Very short list if you take out the juicers. Even still, elite company. Ruth did it in 154 games which is crazy especially in that era.

Hahah the interview of Correa when they’re down 7-0 is pure cinema. I’m enjoying it

actually i take that back about Ruth. He didn't have to face all these 100 mph guys. And got to see a starter many more innings.

Weak sauce, nobody came close to 60 in those days, the fences
were further back and the ball was called a dead ball but one man
beat all that in 154 games.

GO M'S !!!!!!

Not celebrating yet until the division champs t shirts and hats are on
Simple as
For sure. In baseball, a "big lead" in the first few innings is a bit of a misnomer -- that's a lot of innings for the other team to tack on a bunch of runs of their own.

They didn't face the hard throwers either. Different era, hard to compare. His team mate had 47 the same year.

Loving the early big lead, but let's not do the thing where we take the rest of the game off and let the other team back in it please.

That's it for Logan. Hopefully our bullpen can bring it home without having to use our best.
