I don’t think Aaron in ‘74 caught near the crap that Maris did in ‘61.

Nor do I. Nobody boo’d Aaron when he tied Babe’s record here in Cincy.

They did boo the next night, when he didn’t play so as to get the record in Atlanta, however.

You might recall, it was a big controversy, holding out a player for such a thing.

Then again, baseball still had integrity in the 1970’s...and a real commissioner for that matter.
