Roger Maris: Still the legit season home run king.
Hank Aaron: Always the legit career home run king.
Roger Maris got the short end of it IMHO. He was a great player and from all I know about him, a good man.
My 12-year-old nephew is a super baseball fan and budding historian and quite a good and up and comming player himself and Marris is his hero.
If you haven't watched it, take the time to see the movie "61".
If Roger Maris merrits an astricks behind his name, what does McGuire, et all deserve?
McGuire would have stood higher in my book if he'd just come clean and said, "yes I took andro - it was stupid and it was wrong". It wasn't illegal at the time, heck I could have bought it a my local GNC. He could have taken the high road but instead he went down the Bill Clinton low road of denying it in the face of the evidence and never taking responsibility for his actions.
Jason Giambi came clean and has stayed clean and salvagedhis career and reputation (except of course among all you rabid Yankee haters out there).
Yes, Gunny! Precisely.
