60 Home Runs in 154 games: Ruth yes. Maris no. Bonds, McGwire, Sosa? Monday, June 12, 2017

Both the 1927 and 1961 Yankees played a tie game and so the team played 155 and 163 games respectively. Ruth broke his 1921 record of 59 HR when he hit number 60 in Yankee game 154 at the Stadium. Ruth did not homer in the final game, number 155.

In 1961 Maris for some reason was allowed that extra game, too, since the Yankees had already played their tie game way back on April 22, 1961 in Baltimore. Maris reached Yankee game 155 with 58 HR.

Ruth and Maris home runs in games 152-163 clearly shown. Through 154: Ruth 60, Maris 58. Thursday, September 15, 2022

Babe Ruth v. Roger Maris

Maybe this will clarify it. Part of the confusion is that both the 1927 and 1961 Yankees played an early season tie game. So, their regular season schedules of 154 and 162 respectively wound up with these number of games: 155 and 163.
