Was wondering what the group thinks about Roger's chance of ever making it to the HOF. He's the only guy that ever broke Babe's record without steroids and I'm hoping that someday that will be acknowleged.

His career was not a HOF career in my book---the only year he hit over 39 HRs was in 1961 when he hit 61---funny isnt it-- look at his stats--he was just an ordinary player until 1961 and ordinary after that
Maris is a sentimental favorite for sure, but I think the only piece of Maris that will ever be in the hall of fame is his bat and uniforms....
Just doesnt seem to have the numbers......
lifetime .260 hitter........had All-Star years from 59-62...of course league MVP in '60 '61...one gold glove....
in comparison think Eric Davis or Jay Buhner type stats.......

Maris was a very good all around ball player.
To relate this thread to another thread,
Roger Maris was from Fargo, ND. "Northern Player"
I think he should be in the Hall of Fame.

p.s.Roger Maris had some gunboats for biceps!

Too bad, but the numbers are not there.
When did they prove that McGwire took steroids? Did he admit it or was some evidence produced that I missed in the papers?

if i remember correctly, he had anabolic steriods in his locker. that might be a dead giveaway right there.
Can anyone explain Maris and 61 HRs in 1961 while he never had more than 39 before or after the '61 season ?
His bat goes into the hall but not him
I have seen no proof of McGwire taking steroids--he admitted he took over the counter supplements which were "legal" when he used them
You have to wonder how many other players used the same "legal" substances and did not do what he did
Keep in mind when he was a rookie he had 49 HRs and would have had 50 or more if not hurt--the year he went crazy was the only year he was not bothered by injuries, perhaps becaus e of the "legal"" supplement he was taking.

Wrong he had androstendion, a body building supplement not on the MLBB ban list.
To whom are you directing your question?
FYI
Did you know that Roger Maris (Maras) changed the spelling of his name from Maras to Maris early in nhis career. The reason, people were calling him Mar-***.

Is that right? And did anyone stop because he changed the spelling?
