Maris Belongs in the Hall of Fame
My letter, published in the August 5, 2005 New York Times:
To the Editor:
If baseball wanted to make a strong statement about its integrity and its values, it would immediately install Roger Maris in the Hall of Fame.
By doing so, baseball would be saying: "Here is a man who broke a sacred baseball record that stood for 34 years before he broke it, and that then stood for 37 years until it was broken, if indeed it was legitimately broken. He did it with nothing but a bat and his God-given talents."
What a perfect way for baseball to show what sort of man and performance it reveres!
