I plan on being a reporter, but I don't plan on being one like those that nearly ruined Roger's season! If I had been around, I would've ripped the commissioner and the media in those days
Kudos to the Maris boys for handling baseball's elephant with class. I wouldn't have been so kind toward those filthy cocksuckers McGuire Sosa and Bonds who ass fucked baseball and all the truly great heros of the game. Don't expect any justice for Roger while that crooked bitch Selig remains in power but when he goes all true baseball fans should unite to demand an OFFICIAL restoration of Roger and others to their rightful places in baseball history.
I have a feeling that's exactly what's going to happen, and even better, those cocksuckers will already be receiving punishment cause they'll NEVER be voted into the hall-of-fame.
@dzanier Absolutely, and the ones who do vote yay should have rocks thrown at them. Selig is the unindicted co-conspirator, one heap of pig vomit. Roger has simply got to get his due.
I wish I would of finished hearing Peters story but it sounded waaay cool for Maris to recognize that and approach peter after breakfast. Im sure he got his autograph :)
It was a tragedy people hated him so much that he always received death threats just for being a great home run hitter! He didn't deserve any of that he deserved praise for what he had accomplished!
@eugene680 Yeah, but now their "legacy" is totally suspect. They're all about to be eligible for the Hall of Fame. I don't think they'll be voted in right away if at all. Everybody knows guys like Maris and Hank Aron are the real deal.

Poor guy. He should definatly be in the Hall Of Fame.
The media should also annoy the fuck out of the players playing today. It's not like the top million dollar players are doing anything else anyway...

I don't care about what Bonds, Sosa and McGwire did. What Maris did in 1961 is still one of the most amazing feats in baseball.

Maris was a great all-round player. He was one of the best fielding rightfielders of that time. Right up there with Clemente, Kaline and Callison.

The video of McGwire at the beginning of this conjers up the image of an unflushed tiolet in a field of dead skunks

What's really sad was Bonds, Sosa and McGwire stole the record from Maris by cheating. And all 3 were being cheered while they were cheating.

It is certainly a fascinating story, but to equate people hating on Maris as a tragedy is a huge stretch.
