## The Evolution of the Major League Baseball Single-Season Home Run Record NounThe Major League Baseball single-season home run record is the highest number of home runs hit by a player in a single season.
For example, in 1961, Roger Maris set the record by hitting 61 home runs.
This record is one of the most prestigious in all of sports, and it is a testament to the power and skill of the players who have achieved it.
The single-season home run record has been broken several times over the years, and it is always a major event when a player comes close to breaking it.
