He did it the right way, with no steroids or PED's in sight. Congrats Roger!!
How do we know that Maris did not take "greenies" which are performance enhanching

You could say that about any player Mac. As long as there is no proof, any player gets the benefit of the doubt.
Speaking of greenies, in 2006 Barry Bonds tested positive for amphetamines.

Think this over the three batters that hit 60 or more home runs ,McGwire...admitted user.....Bonds tested positive for steroids, three times at Balco lab...The reason it could not be used as evidence, because Greg Anderson refused to testify. Last but not least, hit 60 or more three times....Sammy Sosa, his name was on the list of 103 players who failed a banned substance test.

For those who saw him or all those that saw videos, Roger Maris had one of the most beautiful swings you will ever see. Fluid and so smooth with a bit of an uppercut. Too bad Roger was not here to see that he and what he accomplished is more appreaciated today.
