Aaron Judge is a much nicer guy that Ruth, Bonds, or McGwire. Sosa I guess was a lovable goofball but didn't exactly cover himself with glory pretending to be dumb in front of Congress or being caught using a corked bat. Never heard anything bad about Maris but I'm not an expert on that era of the game. I know Maris came out of nowhere, had 2 amazing seasons, and then more or less returned to nowhere.
Meanwhile, speaking of Babe Ruth, you also have Ohtani having another unprecedented two-way season in Anaheim. I don't envy the decision MVP voters have before them. I love Shohei Ohtani and think he should win MVP anytime he has a decent 2-way season unless somebody else has an amazing performance: Judge's year probably qualifies for that. He might get the Triple Crown too.
