I like Maris, but lifetime .260 and and 275 homeruns is a good player, not great.
I think that is the problem with the HOF, too many good players, should be reserved for the great players.



Maris = Hall of Very Good



I very well remember the 1961 season, the M&M boys....Mantle and Maris, and how badly I wanted Mickey to win the home run title. Roger Maris was a very good player over a handful of seasons, just not enough to get him into the HOF. Although, it can probably be argued that he was better than some who made it.
