I don't care a ton, but I think it is interesting. I do find it amusing that they are giving it way more attention than breaking just a league record normally would, because everybody still views it as the legitimate record.

"care" is a hard word to define in this question. im not watching every at bat but i also find it interesting. its still a really high number that has rarely been exceeded so seems worth acknowledging/appreciating but i wouldn't have been heartbroken if he didn't reach or pass 61.

Living in the East Coast bias bubble, it’s hard for me to distinguish because I deal with it all the time.
I will say that I have grown to like Judge as a player and person. He’s got kind of a Goldy-like aww shucks humbleness that I find refreshing (Maris was like that too). Too bad he’s a Yankee.

I thought Jeter's home run record would never be broke.

I think Judge is having such a great season that his HR total is neat and interesting. I don't put any value on 62 so that incremental HR compared to 60, 61, or 63 I don't really care about.

It's interesting in that exceedingly few humans have ever topped 60 HR, and to do so in a triple crown season is really a season for the ages. Like, his 2022 will be in the same category as say Babe Ruth's 1927 season.
But yeah I don't care that it's a new AL record, and like it or not it's not the MLB record, so i put "no."

I care because that means I'll be gifted a free Aaron Judge 99 overall card in MLB The Show.

I mean they did the same thing for Pujols chasing 700 HRs and that is no record of any kind (the live cut in while watching other sports)go birds wrote: ↑September 29 22, 12:34 pmyea they will be doing live cut-ins during college football because apparently the powers that be think anyone outside of NYC really needs to see thisPopeye_Card wrote: ↑September 29 22, 12:33 pmI don't care a ton, but I think it is interesting.

I'm more impressed with the triple crown/if he can hold onto that
