danc Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Maris's record lasted longer than the Babe's so the extra games is a non-issue. The record lasted until they started using "the old steroid jerk" to borrow a phrase from Tin Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course you can prove that as much as I can prove Maris wasn't using Mel Allen's doctor's 'miracle shot'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danc Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 Your right "legendary man", proof is in the making, but seeing who makes and doesn't make the hall of fame may be the final test of baseball's integrity here. I guess that if it is "legal" it's ok. Let the suits determine it. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HardcoreLegend Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 I was just messing around. HOF, though, Bonds and McGwire will make it but Maris won't. What does that tell ya? :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danc Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 Yup. Sad but true. Good thing baseball is such a great game because it's integrity, with respect to records and the hall, is a bit shakey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
