Aaron Judge broke the American League record for home runs in a season. The previous record was set by Roger Maris, who also played for the Yankees. And he claimed the record from Babe Ruth, who also played for the Yankees. The dimensions changed a little bit over time, but it just so happens that all of the relevant people for that specific record had played in really similar stadiums with a notoriously short right field fence.

Then again, when it comes to home run records, you can make a case that a dozen different people deserve the title of Home Run King based on whatever you consider to be fair.
