Players have gotten in on a single season or event before. I don’t know if Maz gets in without his home run and I don’t think Dizzy Dean gets in without winning 30 games. Would Hack Wilson be in without his RBI record? In my opinion what Maris did in 1961 eclipses all of them.

This! And the way Maris conducted himself in that 1961 season was beyond reproach. The constant press intrusion and the view of many fans at the time that Maris should take a bake seat to Mantle.

Hall of FAME - I do believe Maris is quite famous, is he not? Darn good player to boot, couple MVP's, held one of the most prestigious records in all of sports.

Dave, only because you set it up so nicely...

With some of the players in the HOF and they're journeyman records, I have to wonder if its becoming the Hall of Very Good.

Yes, and still owns THE (legit) single season HR record in my book.

No, but he's already accorded HOF-level respect by collectors, so it doesn't really matter.

Thread needs a card:
