ROGER MARIS vs AARON JUDGE

[gonefishin]

Again, Roger's 61 home run record is coming under attack from a legitimate contender - Aaron Judge. Will it hold up or will it fall to the mighty Judge? I have always loved Roger Maris. If you haven't watched the movie "61", please do so.

With that said, let's see some photo's of your Roger Maris cards. I know everyone has at least one, and maybe several. Here is mine, fresh back from PSA to match my 58 Mantle. Remember the M&M boys of summer?

Here's my Roger, the true home run king (for now):

At least Judge will be legit unlike the other three.

Thanks - the photo on his 67 always made me feel a little sorry for Roger - I don't know why.

He made the Series in 67 and 68 and scored a Budweiser distributorship on retirement so the trade worked out well for him. He almost retired rather than play in 67

But cancer at 51

He looks deeply melancholy on nearly every one of his cards.

Lets not be too quick with that "legitimate contender" stuff. The Yankees recent history of circumventing the rules makes me want to hesitate a moment before anointing any of them as legitimate. Based on what I know about the guy, I like him fine, but remember, this guy is in a walk year.

It is very interesting and educational as I read all the comments on Maris' HoF induction pros and cons. I get it that not everyone thinks he should be enshrined. Maybe the Yankees retiring #9 was enough.

What about Aaron Judge breaking the record? Any comments?
