But it's not the same milestone. I know you're looking for a comp for pitchers but it's not.

I was young but it sure seemed to be a huge deal in 1968.

It's exciting, sure, but that's it. There's a discussion about wins and their relative importance all the time. Bob Welch won 27 games one year too.

A guy hitting 400 or 61 homers is on them entirely to do.

If a pitcher strikes out 400 batters in a single season I will say put that guy in too.

I guess for me bottom line is I would not put anyone in based on one year no matter what he accomplished. Celebrate it with a display.

I think that's fair. It's most people's opinion or he'd be in.

Hack Wilson probably wouldn’t have made it without his record setting season.

No one advocating Maris would be advocating Maris if he hit 59 that year.

Wilson is a good comparison here. The takeaway is that Wilson was a mistake, but the comparison makes clear sense to me. He’s probably the most blatant example of a hitter riding in based on an annual achievement more than his career. His career produced good rate stats but is far too short otherwise.
