[QUOTE="Zubaz, post: 3188470, member: 3528"] I was just making a joke that Maris saw his accomplishment diminished with a "split" record for some asinine reason. It's odd that his heirs wouldn't recognize that. But sure, we can have that conversation. As someone else pointed out, it's just weird to single out players for one set of "cheating" circumstances, but everyone else is in the clear with their records. We can celebrate a guy in Babe Ruth that played when they literally outlawed minorities from the game, or the hitters and pitchers both in Maris' era who were on Meth....er I mean "greenies", but the 90's power hitters are so beyond the pale because of their PED use even though they technically didn't violate any MLB policy? Sorry, not buying it. The record is the record. (Judge's accomplishments are still incredibly impressive and worth celebrating, obviously). [/QUOTE]
