Roger Maris led the AL in slugging and RBIs in 1960. His OPS+ that year was 160. In 1961, his OPS+ after hitting 61 home runs was 167.

He essentially had the same season twice, with the caveat that he hit 61 home runs the second time. How that suggests he was cheating is beyond me. And if you don't believe Roger went through hell that season, I have several books I could suggest that might shine a light on what he went through.
I do truly believe Roger did go through hell that season. As for PEDs we have way different beliefs. Do you really think the NBA guys are PED free?

I honestly don't get people that think professional athletes are PED free. Drug test are way more of an IQ test than a drug test. Just look at how many times Lance Arrmstrong tested positive. Oh that's right he never failed an IQ, I mean drug test.
