I think that they should leave their names in the books because it is still impressive and didn’t go against rules at the time, but the records should be noted as enhanced seasons.
I would give it to the person who won it fair with no outside help or advantages
I would still allow them to hold the record because even though they were on steroids it’s still very impressive to hit 70+ home runs in a season.
The game was just different during Barry Bonds & Sosa era! So I think they should keep the record book the same. 73 homeruns is incredible either way.
This is fallacy. The steroids didn’t help Sammy, Mark, or Bonds put the bat on the ball they were each great hitters without the roids.
Cheating or not, it it still incredibly hard to hit a major league pitcher and while steroids may have added a little strength you can’t take away that Barry bonds is the best hitter of all time. Those guys should still be in the record book
I would put a asterisk by it
Yes there the home run king bc no matter what drug u take u have to still hit the baseball that’s hard enough but to have 60+ homeruns that’s even more crazy. They should be in the HOF and they should hold the records.
he deserves it to me he did it with on substances like everyone else there’s nothing wrong with being the best
i think that he is a freak of nature that is in his prime
I would say cheaters don’t belong on the list. The asterisk idea is also good, so even if they were kept on the list, it would show more about their feat.
I wouldn’t delete their records entirely, but I would make it known that they cheated and it wasn’t fair to those who didn’t take steroids.
I would delete the record books of those who used steroids because they cheated.
I completely agree with Judge. He is the best home run hitter and should be placed number 1. Cheating has no room in records and does not show very good integrity.
If I was the commissioner of Major League Baseball, I would handle the single-season home run record by taking the people off of the top and have the people who didn’t use steroids at the top of the leader board. With that being said, I do think that somewhere could be honorable mentions of these players during the “steroid record” era because those records are still worth something. Personally, cheating is something that shouldn’t be tolerated in sports because you should be able to accomplish something with your own capabilities.
Personally, I would take the other top leaders off of the book in order to have the people who accomplished those things on their own to be rewarded. Your don’t need steroids in order to accomplish great things and it shouldn’t be put aside the fact that people do it without things like steroids.
I think that they cheated to break the record, so they shouldn’t be featured on the record.
I would not put them on top of the record list but i would acknowledge their names. I would say aaron judge is on top of the list.
I don’t think the original players who cheated by taking steroids deserve the recognition of having the most home runs. I believe that people have natural born talents and some people are good at what they do the way I would handle the record would be still testing to make sure steroids/cheating is not in place other than that I would continue to watch the athlete do great things.
If I was the commissioner I wouldn’t let the people who used steroids be on the record holder because they cheated to get to where they were.
I think that Joe’s idea was really good and that’s what the MLB should do
I would think it’s cool that a player could hit so many home runs and set a new record in sports and continue to beat the past ones.
For official records of home runs the people who broke the previous records while using steroids should not be counted and they should keep the record of the person who broke it without cheating.
I would do the same thing, because it was the steroid era, and it was hard to tell who took steroids and who didn’t, I would just not count any of the other ones.
I do not think it’s right at all for the players to get top of the record book especially when you cheat. I don’t think they should be deleted completely but they definitely need to know it’s not okay and have something so other people know too.
The record should only be set by the people who aren’t on steroids. It should be Aaron Judge.
I would say it does not count because steroids were used which is cheating and it helps performance.
I get that they cheated and it isn’t a fair record but since the records were already in the books I agree with the idea of putting an asterisk next to those years.
I would either remove them from the record books or leave an asterisk. Cheating isn’t fair and it shouldn’t be recognized as a good and honorable thing
That was epic
They shouldn’t get the record because they were cheating.
I don’t think that the players who were on steroids should keep their records. The only reason they achieved the record was because they were cheating.
I would make a very big deal out of it. This is an amazing record and this man should be celebrated for his accomplishment.
It was cool that he hit that much home runs
i wouldn’t even know what to do because I really don’t know baseball like that. I will make sure they get notice though
I would give the home run title to the people who won without cheating
