Didn't Sammy emerge "victorious" in that he first broke the 61 record?

In a way your right, Sammy was the first to go past 61, but that was not the end of the season! That is kind of like a race where 1st and 2nd both broke the existing record. 2nd was still second.

Big Mac was first

Big Mac reached 62 HRs 5 days before Sosa.
