Maris was ten times the player Mazeroski was and if you look at Maris' career pre-breaking the record and post-breaking the record, it's not hard to see what living through that did to him.
His achievement was the greatest and hardest fought-for achievement I can think of. And he lost his career doing it at 26 years old.
