Give it back to Maris ^

A local sports radio station here in Denver mentioned this recently -

Give it back to Maris Help restore the MLB homerun record to the rightful owner

This website is designed for the sole purpose of setting the Major League Baseball Single Season Home Run Record straight. With the acknowledgement of an era of baseball where the legitimacy of every record is in doubt, we believe there is only one solution to the ongoing steroid controversy and mistrust that not only surrounds the game but has created doubt in the game for the last 16 years. That solution is for Major League Baseball to GIVE IT BACK TO MARIS!

The 61 home runs that Roger Maris hit in 1961 were the benchmark that every major league slugger was shooting for 37 years. We contend that the passing of the Maris record by Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa in 1998 and the subsequent mark set by Barry Bonds in 2001 CAN’T BE TRUSTED. We know it, they know and Major League Baseball knows it!

Something I didn't know about Roger Maris is that he was eventually traded to the St. Louis Cardinals and led them to back to back World Series appearances, winning in 1967 against the Red Sox.

Baseball... a game I used to like, before I realized everyone in it is a cheater.
