"The chase for Roger Maris" was the most memorable moments this season in Major League Baseball. However, way back in 1961 Roger Maris was chasing Babe Ruth's record of 60 homeruns in a season. Thirty-seven years later in the 1998 M.L.B. season Sammy Sosa and Mark McGwire were on route to break that record, and they did. It began with the chase for Ruth, then the chase for Maris, but what people don't know is what kind of reception did the baseball players received? No one has really talked about this topic, but I'll break the ice on this...
this season; Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa because they brought the fans back to the ballparks. As you can see the reception the ball players received from the fans changed over the years. From 1961 where it was the chase for Ruth, to the present to where it's the chase for history as Sammy Sosa and Mark McGwire battle it out for the most homeruns in a single season. Now, time will only tell for whom will be the homerun king. Sosa or McGwire. And when in the future in M.L.B. will this happen again? Who knows . . ?
