My Take
Maris is one of baseball's most poignant figures. Breaking Babe Ruth's record with 61 home runs in 1961 should have been pure triumph, yet he was treated as an intruder, reportedly losing his hair from the stress of doing something historic while the world rooted against him. Two MVPs and a Gold Glove confirm he was a complete player, not a fluke. He died too young at 51. I find myself admiring his talent and aching a little for the man who had to carry greatness and resentment at the same time, mostly alone.
