You know what I just realized?
Roger Maris is still the single season home run king. I mean, the clean one. Bonds, McGuire, and Sosa are all tainted. I had to look it up. They are the only ones who have hit more than Maris. So Maris is still king. (So is Hank Aaron, by the way.)
This makes me excited. We still have somebody, a legendary player of a past generation, to chase after. But not completely. Every time someone from now on comes close the conversation will still include Bonds and McGuire. It's sad.
By the way, 61* is an awesome movie. Go watch it if you haven't before. It chronicles Maris's classic 1961 season. Him and his times with Mickey Mantle. It's a great movie.
