Default Would anyone here seriously vote him into the hall
Posted By: Gilbert Maines

I guess maybe it is the Hall of FAME. It certainly is not the Hall of superior performance. If it is fame, well Maris is certainly noteworthy:

Deadball era HR leader (35 years, 1884-1919) Ned Williamson, 27 HRs
Live ball era HR leader (42 years, 1919-1961) Babe Ruth, 60 HRs
Modern era HR leader (37 years, 1961-1998) Roger Maris, 61 HRs
21st Century HR leader (2001-present) Barry Bonds, 73 HRs

Wow ! One of the big three all time home run hitters, with a 37 year reign.

How could anyone consider keeping this man out of the Hall?

He may not be one of the best players in baseball history, but in my opinion, he is as HallWorthy as Rabbit Maranville.
