why does Aaron Judge hitting 62 HRs in a season matter so much?

I get that is is the most for an NL team, but 62 only gets him to 7th all time for the MLB as a whole. Sure, the 73 by Bonds is suspect, but this is 11 less.

Is it because this is the first time someone has eclipsed 60 HRs since 2001? Is it because he’s part of the Yankees? Is it because he is probably not on “the juice?” The wall to wall coverage is just ridiculous on ESPN. Is it just because ESPN has nothing else to report on and they need to invent “history making” like this to get attention for their floundering network?

I real that the MLB is really pushing the sports outlets to cover this so intently, like it is a final nail on the “steroid era” coffin.

I’m not a baseball fan, but I can see how a sports team that wants to forget it’s scandals would want to make the most of it’s chance at creating “history”
