ROGER MARIS

Roger Maris Essay Roger Maris was born on September 10, 1934 in Hibbing, Minnesota. His father moved his family who worked at the Great Great Railway where Roger grew up in 1942 to North Dakota. The Maris brothers participated in sports and participated in Shanley High School of Fargo, North Dakota. Roger met his future wife Patricia in a tenth grade high school basketball game. In cold weather and because there were no projects at North Dakota High School, Roger joined the American Veterans Association baseball game during the summer.

Back then - especially 1998 - baseball has recently been mismadched by football and basketball. That summer, it changed dramatically and was activated dramatically and all year round by Sosa and McGwire in their long-term record of 61 home runs in Roger Maris. Maris is the only person with more than 60 people. - In the same season, two players joined him! Entering the midsummer classics, McGwire and Sosa have 40 human resources and 35 human resources, respectively. By the beginning of September, each of the two sniper persons had 55 human resources each, creating a spectacular match like a pennant in the history of the league. Everything is over, McGwire has completed 70 personnel assignments and Sosa has reached 66 people. In retrospect, even if the result was instantaneous, it was the moment when baseball temporarily recovered its position in the US professional sports world.

In 1998, St. Louis Cardinals 'first bassist, Mark McGuire and Chicago Cubs' outfielder Sammy Sosa, took part in a multi-year homerun. It seems that as two people quickly approached Roger Maris' 61 home runs (founded in 1961), they saw two strong batters nationwide have become the first to break records. On September 8, 1998, McKae won the first 62 points, and Sosa was stopped after that. Sosa has completed 66 home runs, but this is only 70 times McGwire has never heard of. However, recent steroid claims ruined this season in the hearts of many fans.

When people remember the 1998 season, they will first think home run chase. In most of the summer, Mark McGuigler and Sammy Sosa pursued each other and left the most respected record among all professional sports. When spring training began, McGwire was promoted and asked when asked if he thought he would break the record. From the first day, if you have not reached Mallis, he is expected to exceed the total of 58 home runs in 1997. Even with his neck and neck, Sosa is still in the shadow of "big Mac". It is widely believed that if Sosa was not there, McKay never passed through Maris and did not reach such an amazing number.
