Roger Maris had the record. McGwire was in a race with Sammy Sosa for the new record in '98. So he beat him in a way too.

Roger Maris with 61. People say that's really the single season homerun record.

the only way he can hit over 60 is that if gets to be certain greater useful pitches and that'll basically take place if the different bats interior the lineup get on base. If Escobar, Thames and Lind shop hitting like they have been and Hill/Snider/EE interior the 5/6 spots get warm and up their averages to a minimum of .275 via season's end then I see no reason he does no longer legitimately ruin Marris' sixty one. inspite of what the others do Bautista is the actual deal and could hit yet another 50+ this 3 hundred and sixty 5 days barring an harm. do no longer forget approximately he neglected 6 or 8 video games this 3 hundred and sixty 5 days too so he could already be at approximately 35.

Before McGwire, the record belonged to the Yankees' Roger Maris, who hit 61 round-trippers in 1961.

Hack WIlson (56 in 1930) held the NL single season HR record before McGwire surpassed him in 1998.
Maris continues to hold the AL record, though Mac passed him too.
