Aaron Judge has weighed in on the debate over whether he’s chasing the legitimate home run record. He doesn’t believe so.

Judge, who hit his 54th home run on Monday, told the San Francisco Chronicle that he sees Barry Bonds’ 73 as the record – despite Bonds having used performance-enhancing drugs to set it.

“Oh yeah,” Judge said. “That’s the record. I watched him do it. I stayed up late watching him do it. That’s the record. No one can take that from him.”

Judge is on pace to pass Roger Maris’ 61 home runs, which would set a new American League record and make him the first to pass that mark without the help of PEDs. But Bonds, Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa all passed Maris — the latter two doing so multiple times — during the steroid era.

Hitting 73 home runs is likely out of the question for Judge at this point, as he would need to hit 19 home runs in the Yankees’ remaining 27 games. That’s technically not impossible but it is extremely unlikely, even at the rate Judge is hitting.

Fangraphs’ projection system expects Judge to end up with 62 home runs, while ESPN expects him to end up with 65, which would be tied with McGwire for fourth all-time.

Judge has repeatedly downplayed the record in public, wanting instead to focus on the team. The Yankees are currently looking to fend off a historic collapse in the division.

The Yankees play the Twins in a doubleheader later today.
