It’s Still 61 Roger Maris and the Steroid Era
The piece recalls Maris 61 homers in 1961 and Ruths 60 in 1927 while contrasting modern records set by Bonds McGwire and Sosa. It questions steroid use, highlights Sosas corked bat incident, and criticizes pursuit of records amid drug suspicions. The author argues Hall of Fame should exclude players tied to steroids and drug use.
