What are baseball’s season, all-time marks?


play

Major League Baseball’s home run records are – and always have been – some of the most well-known marks in all of sports. 

Barry Bonds currently holds both the single-season (73 in 2001) and career (762) home run records, breaking the previous marks set by Mark McGwire (70 in 1998) and Hank Aaron (755), respectively.

In 2022, New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge set the American League record with 62 home runs, passing Roger Maris – whose single-season mark of 61 stood from 1961 to 1998.
