Rockies need a slugger to chase the HR crown

In the 30-year existence of the Colorado Rockies, the team has never had one of their players win the MLB home run crown.

As the baseball world watches in anticipation to see if Aaron Judge can break Roger Maris’ American League record of 61 homers this year, it showcases the thrill of home run chases. It brings in viewers beyond Yankees fans to see if Roger Maris’ 61-year-old record will fall. Through Thursday, Judge has 55 bombs, which puts him on pace to finish with 65 homers this year. That mark would also tie him for fourth the most overall with all three above him — Barry Bonds (73), Mark McGwire (70 and 65, and Sammy Sosa (66) — being very debatable record holders with asterisks that defined the Steroid Era.
