Kane Knight once again you miss the original point. It's a D I S C U S S I O N.
Well actually you miss the point of the discussion. I see no evidence of a witch-hunt but a discussion of an issue in baseball. Nor do I have any position eitherway. I am interested in the discussion and people's points of view. I am, because I can, playing devils advocate.
MLB's argument behind putting an asterix by Maris's name was that he played more games in a season than Ruth and therefore recieved an unfair advantage - although a legal advantage.
When McGwire broke the record he was using Andro. He was open about this and its benefits. This gave him an advantage - at the time a legal advantage. If MLB is going to have an asterix by Maris for legal assistance then should McGwire's record have an asterix for also recieving legal assistance.
VEL. You of course mention expansion. Again the dilution of pitching rotations is something that will have been to the advantage of hitters. So should it be asterixed as a 'post-expansion' HR record.
Should there have even been an asterix in the first place by Maris's record?
