58 and 59!

8 games left to break Ruth's 154 game record of 60 and 16 left to break Maris' 162 game record of 61.

Oh, and he has a good chance of winning the Triple Crown.

and sets the HR record, is he a shoo-in for the MVP, or does the wunderkind Ohtani who is a good hitter and a very good pitcher this season on a much worse team still more deserving?

Hell, he could break a couple of more times.

I thought someone had broken Maris's single season HR record. Did I dream it?
