Right here’s what Choose stated after hitting dinger No. 61.
“It’s fairly unbelievable,” Choose stated that evening. “There’s a variety of issues Babe Ruth did that I undoubtedly couldn’t do. Getting an opportunity to sit down at 60 for some time there with the Babe was good. Getting an opportunity to sit down at 61 with one other Yankees proper fielder that hit 61 dwelling runs, received MVPs, and was a world champion, it’s fairly cool.”
The Main League report for homers in a season was set by Barry Bonds in 2001 with 73.
