From SI.com http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2005/baseball/mlb/03/31/maris.home.run.record.ap/index.html?cnn=yes Interesting coming from a state with no Major League Baseball teams and less population than most MLB cities.
I agree. Restore it. Put an asterisk by the ones who hit MORE than him in one season, and explain WHY they don't have the record [drug addiction to Steroids]... NEXT?
Tricky situation since their is some tesitmoney and some evidence. Sosa you could elminiate on the corked bat. Bonds has tesitifed in a secret report so he could be eliminated. McGwire said nothing other than Andro, but Canseco is an eyewitness, so you could conceivably remove him as well with little argument.
That is where Maris is from, so I'd say they have a vested interest in it. They could still be "The Home of MLB Home Run King Roger Maris"
Who cares. Even Maris played more games to be able to break the record, so let's just give them all asterisks with side notes to designate all of the stipluations associated with each record.
It's like Boxing, we need someone to unify the title. How amazing would it be in Bonds were to do it next year when he is clean.
