Race for the Record
In 1927, Babe Ruth carved a landmark into baseball lore by blasting 60 home runs in a single season. 34 years later, Roger Maris eclipsed that achievement. Another 37 years slipped by before Mark McGwire shattered the record. Just five days after McGwire's breakthrough, Sammy Sosa toppled the freshly established mark. What followed was a breathless chase as the record ping-ponged between the two rivals and the season dwindled toward its end. Relive the journey—from Ruth to Maris, through the climactic closing days of the 1998 Sosa/McGwire showdown.
