Gary B."Maris is a perfect example not only does he archive an amazing season with 61 home runs beating Ruth’s record but does so with constant stress, anxiety attacks and daily death threats. Clearly something no modern player has had to endure."
I don't know about contstant stress and anxiety attacks, but Bonds did get death threats in 2001 from people who didn't want him to beat McGwire's record. He didn't reveal this to the end of the season, but he had to endure this kind of thing as well, even in our more modern times...
