I don't know about single season leader. I'll go with the Babe, he basically invented the home run

Maris only had 55 Home Runs through 154 games. Ruth hit 6 HR in the last week of the season in 1927. He was on a tear and If he had had an extra 8 games There is little doubt he would have hit a few more than 60.
Judge and Ruth are tied as far as I am concerned. The Yankees have played 147 games. If Judge hits another Home run in the next week he will be the legitimate single season leader.
Bonds had his career year in his prime at age 28 and declined gradually from there. Then he started taking roids and at age 36 he hits 27 more home runs than he did at age 28 and has an OPS .243 points higher. Bonds is the most obvious cheater in the game and I don't give anything he did after 1999 any credence whatsoever.

Re: Single season HR leader Poll
If Bonds is the HR leader you might as well ask Carl Lewis to give his 1988 Olympics 100m gold back to Ben Johnson. Although even he was a cheat. Calvin Smith is the only clean medalist from that race.
I hope Judge is clean so I went with him. When Julio hits 74 in a few years this will all be bollocks anyway.
