I tend to agree with your perspective. However, I really do think there should be a special place for Maris in the Hall because what he did was so incredible. He was only 26 when he broke the record and was then out of baseball by the time he was 33. If you look at cards from him from just a few years later, like his 1965 Topps card, he looks like an old man. But he's just 29 in 1965.
What he accomplished destroyed him and it should stand as a testament in the Hall in my opinion.
