Maris Considers Retirement After This Season
Fort Myers, AP Roger Maris says he may quit baseball after this year amid ongoing scrutiny. The Cardinal outfielder, traded from the Yankees, cites years of public attention and hostile questions as factors. He recalls Babe Ruth’s record year and says he was treated unfairly, though credits Stan Musial and Red Schoendienst for support with the Cardinals.
