      No. If they do that, then the Babe should hold the record because the seasons were longer in 1961 (162 games) when Maris hit 61 than when Ruth hit 60 in 1927 (154 games). I hate astericks.

              prove to me that Maris didnt use steriods or any other good baseball player. Steriods help with recovery time also, you dont always get big. I think anabolic steriods came out right when Maris broke the record....coincidence?

                      were steroids even around back then?

                      was there rules against using human growth hormones in 1961?

                      did maris's body figure multiply by 3?

                      what are you tryin to prove, barry bonds, whos an obvious cheater and will be proved, should still hold the single season record, and if he breaks hank aarons record, hold that to? thats bullshit

                        What about all the pitchers that used steriods? What about greenies? Do you know for a fact that any of your beloved players from the past didnt do any sort of drug for an edge? Like I said before you dont have to get huge on steriods, look at raphael palmero. It helps recovery time. So bascially if you want to banish records of now, you should banish every single stat from the past. No player is innocent anymore.....so no record, stat, game should ever stand.

                            We've come to the point where no extraordinary preformance can occur without the presumption that someone has cheated.

                              Good point.

                              But to players who have been convicted of purjery, is very suspicious, won't answer questions, and an enhanced body growth, just like Barry Bonds, shouldn't have a name next to any record without having a *

                                    If it can be proven that a player was using a steroid (designer or otherwise) that was against the rules AT THE TIME OF THE INFRACTION all records of said player should be stripped. Period.

                                    You are right, we don't know if Maris and others were using them, but at the time they were not a banned substance in sports anyway. You cannot enforce rules after the fact.

                                    For example, in the early 80's Montana still had a legal drinking age of 18 and it was quite common for 18 year olds to consume alcohol legally because of this. By your standards, we should go back and give all of them people minor in possessions because a couple of years later the laws changed to age 21 to drink legally and while they weren't breaking the laws at the time, they should have somehow known that the laws were going to change and should have waited an extra 3 years to consume alcoholic beverages. Sorry, the laws don't work that way and neither should rule enforcement in a situation such as baseball. I say remove Bonds from the league forever and remove ALL of his stats from the record books....same with anyone else found to be using a banned substance. BTW, Androstenedione was not a banned substance when McGuire set the record, so he should hold the current record in my opinion.

                                      accused, whatever. bonds cant any question with a straight answer or an answer that gets the point.

                                      its all the same responses ' im tired of this, im just tired, no more questions'

                                      what dont you get about bonds being a cheater?

                                        Well in that case, every player must go to court. Barry Bonds has NEVER tested positive for using steroids!!!!! I firmly beleive that McGuire used steroids too, not just andro.
