I'd still say no. There is no quantifiable way to determine how many homeruns Bonds, McGwire, or Sosa hit because of PED use versus how many they hit because they were good power hitters. And do we know with 100% certainty that Maris, or even Ruth, didn't use anything to aid them with their record-setting years?
Judge is doing something amazing this year, no doubt. And, since Ruth did it, 60 will forever be a milestone number for homeruns. It will be awesome if Judge hits 60 or more and ties or breaks the American League record. But 73 is the official MLB record.
