I really need help on these questions. Please answer with some detail and add where you got your sources if u used them. If you only answer one that is fine, i will give the best answer to the one who answers them correctly and thoroughly. Here are the questions!!
1) What did Roger Maris...
I believe it was signed in 1955 when he played for the Reading Indians. His signature is centered between the seams and there are other players' autographs from the team on it as well.
Fame with both winning 2 MVP? Awards. Which player deserves to be inducted more? Maris or Murphy? I think they both should be in.
i don't even count Juan Gonzalez or Barry Bonds, even though they won more than 2, their both roiders, murph and maris were clean
...run record? I think I was in... middle school, maybe? ... when it happened.
I remember the announcer going, "Line drive to center field... IS IT ENOUGH? YES!!!!"
It was momentous :)
Sadly I can't remember if the record was at 61 or 62 home runs lol
I mean, come on. The so called "AL MVP" for 1960 goes 0 for 5 in game seven of the World Series? Personally I think old Casey should leave him unprotected in the expansion draft. Let him go play in LA or Washington. I guarantee that if the Yankees are stupid enough to keep the bum they can kiss...
When I was a kid, my class went on a Field Trip to where the New York Yankees trained at the time, and I had the flu. They came back with a whole bunch of memorabilia for me since I missed it. One of the things was a Roger Maris 61st Home Run Commemorative Flip Book.
Has anyone ever heard of...
record of 61...................? not only was he about to break the most sacred record at that time but the Yankees were going to the playoffs. Its not like the Yankees were in last place with no chance of going to the playoffs. With something that significant, why was Yankee Stadium mostly...
I was sitting in my room watching the game & 12 yrs later i am doing the same watching another game..The more things change the more they stay the same..
What about you?
Bonds, Mcgwire & Sosa have all hit over 61 homeruns on the juice but what player has the potential to hit 62 homeruns with out the juice?
Ryan Howard, Prince Fielder, Alfonso Soriano, Albert Pujols, Alex Rodriguez???
any others?
He said that any record broken beyond 154 games would get an asterisk (*) attached to the number. Maris' record was the only one that got the asterisk. I heard that Sandy Koufax broke Christie Mathewson's single-season strike out record that same year which was first set in a 140-game season...
