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.
