If you don't count Big Mac/ Sosa/ Bonds, which I'm not, nobody has since 1961.
Thats 48 years.
Pretty impressive that in this day and age nobody has been able to reach 61 (other than the cheaters).
Think about The Ballpark at Arlington, Citizen's Banks Park, Minute Maid Park, Coors Field, and even the same Yankee Stadium that Maris, Ruth, and Mantle hit so many home runs in.
How has nobody hit 61 in the last 48 years? Pretty amazing.
And, I don't think anyone will ever break DiMaggio's record, but nobody thought anybody would break Lou Gehrig's consecutive games played record either.
