December 4, 200421 yr After this recent steroids debacle, for me the real home run kings are Hank Aaron and Roger Maris. Those were real baseball players. I don't trust what McWire and Sosa did, and we know that Bonds is dirty. Shame on all of them for tainting the game. They are losing the battle on the public court of opinion (80% showing not believing Bonds "unknowingly taking . . ."). I don't care if Bonds hit 80 HR and breaks Aaron's record by 300, I won't consider him the greatest.
December 4, 200421 yr He's saying Maris has the single season record and Aaron has the all-time record.
December 4, 200421 yr Didn't Maris get his record using a more rubbery ball? 626872[/snapback] He got it by playing 8 more games than Ruth.
December 4, 200421 yr Didn't Maris get his record using a more rubbery ball? 626872[/snapback] no....
December 4, 200421 yr Didn't Maris get his record using a more rubbery ball? 626872[/snapback] Yes, that's actually true. In the 1961 season they used tennis balls and even raquet balls in some games.
