Roger's 50th anniversary of 61*
Here's a big shout out to Roger Maris, the TRUE single season HR champ!
He did it the right way, with no steroids or PED's in sight. Congrats Roger!!

Those are great photos. As a kid, no card was more desired than a Maris (for me, anyway), even by '64 when I started collecting - there was still an incredible mystique surrounding his record.
As an aside, I got hit in the face with a ball the other night - bounced over the fence in bp and I lost it while it was behind the fence (still should have caught the damned thing). The guy next to me caught one and it had a huge '50' on it - I can only assume that was to commemorate the record.

Speaking of greenies, in 2006 Barry Bonds tested positive for amphetamines. Think this over the three batters that hit 60 or more home runs ,McGwire...admitted user.....Bonds tested positive for steroids, three times at Balco lab...The reason it could not be used as evidence, because Greg Anderson refused to testify. Last but not least, hit 60 or more three times....Sammy Sosa, his name was on the list of 103 players who failed a banned substance test. Last edited by SHOELESSJOE3; 11-07-2011 at 06:31 PM.
