I've noticed they don't rush the field at all lately. Back in the day, they did after Mazeroski's home run, the Impossible Dream Red Sox beating the Twins, Hank Aaron's 715th, Carlton Fisk waving the ball fair, but off the top of my head I can't think of any more recently than that.

This has been a very good discussion about Maris,Wilson,and all the other players that had a huge statistical season that gets them noticed by everyone that watches the HOF. Thanks

I always thought Baseball had a Hall of Fame. FAME. Maris meets that definition. Just my humble biased opinion.

I don't read much from the 1920's and 1930's, perhaps it had evolved between then and Cooperstown itself. Apologies if this is overly pedantic, but I find it interesting how words and turns of phrase shift with time. |

Hmmmm. I'm wondering whether that card was a legitimate photo or whether there was some air brushing and over painting done to the photo.

The bottom line though is that it's the Baseball Hall of Fame and Maris is still more famous than most of the inductees. And he fits the current meaning of the word "famous".

Hey, I thought for a long time that I was the only person that's always thought that Roger Maris should be in the Hall of Fame. Glad to see that I'm not the only one!
The reality is - if not by now he will never be in the Hall. However, I've always-always-always been a Maris fan. Attached are a couple of items that are pretty rare, maybe other fans of Maris will appreciate. Those that are not Maris fans, maybe you can appreciate the items: (1) Minor League scorecard from April 25, 1956, Indianapolis Indians vs St. Paul Saints. (2) Autographed 1957 Sohio Indians photo album. (3) Roger Maris debut game scorecard April 16 1957. |

Are you maybe referring to Roger's head appearing to be oversized in the photo compared to the body? That is simply an illusion created by the perspective in the photo of the card, which was taken from an angle above the holder. Here is a straight on shot of the card in which his head appears at normal size.

Maybe it's "apples to oranges," but Ed Barrow was elected to the HOF for having one great season - 1919, when he sold Ruth to the Yankees. ![]() Last edited by Volod; Today at 09:46 PM. |
