Maris put on a hell of a spectical in 1961 battling Mantle for the HR crown and record. And his seasons before and after were outstanding. And even with 2 MVP awards that McGwire never came close to winning, Maris doesn't belong in the HOF. Neither does Mac. If you are going to get in under what I like to call the "Koufax rule" you had better have a peak like his and dominate the league for 5 years. Mac and Maris didn't. The only reason Mac will get in is because the media liked him and he was a fan favorite. He would enver get in on the merits of his career.

I like to sit outside, drink beer and yell at people. If I did this at home I would be arrested, so I go to baseball games and fit right in.
