Sportsguy9695 Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa both topped Roger Maris' single-season home run mark of 61 in 1998. Barry Bonds broke McGwire's record with 73 homers in 2001.But because of the steroid allegations surrounding McGwire, Sosa and Bonds, Roger Maris' sons believe that their father should still have the single-season record."I think there needs to be a distinction," Randy Maris said on Saturday. "Obviously, unfortunately I think major league baseball turned an eye to that era."Randy and Roger Maris Jr. were at Yankee Stadium with other members of the Maris family to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Roger Maris' 61st home run, which he hit on Oct. 1, 1961.
