February 10, 200521 yr The question is which do you consider the single-season home run champion? 61 Maris 46% 66 Sammy 4% 70 McGwire 17% 73 Bonds 33% Thats with 60,000 votes so far Results kind of surprised me...What do you guys think?
February 10, 200521 yr Well.. technically, even tho Sosa probably did juice, he is the only one out of McGwire, Bonds and Sammy who aren't directly linked to roids.

February 10, 200521 yr Bonds. Last time I checked 73>61. 682193[/snapback] Getting 61 the honest way > Getting 73 by cheating and using steroids
February 11, 200521 yr if they had Babe Ruth I'd choose him because he hit 60 HRS in 154 games where as Maris did in 162.. and the other 3 used roids or whatever..
February 11, 200521 yr All Maris did was hit the ball down the right field line, which is shorter than my middle school field was by 3 feet. I respect his accomplishment, but not that much. Bonds not only hit homers, he absolutely dimolished them. I actually don't think Bonds took a blatant steroid product, and even if he did, like Mark Grace once said of Sosa, "Instead of going 500 feet, his homers would go 480." I don't believe McGuire juiced, either. I actually think Sosa was the only one fo those three that roided up.

If you start putting asterisks next to players, the single season home run record becomes 54 (Ralph Kiner in 1949)

February 12, 200521 yr Steroids dont give you +12 homers. 682277[/snapback] you're right, sometimes they're worth 30 or more http://www.baseball-reference.com/a/anderbr01.shtml

I don't think he physically got that much bigger that year.
February 12, 200521 yr In light of all the roids stuff, I gotta go with Maris. 682184[/snapback] Ezzackly.
