If that record was mine and it was broken by someo e doped up on performance drugs i wouldbe pissed!

It IS cheating.....and Mark McGwire fondling Maris's 61* home run bat and getting fake teary-eyed talking about how much it meant to him, hugging Mari's wife and kids makes me ill as a baseball fan. Maris hit 61 home runs smoking about 2 packs of cigarettes a day with most Yankee fans wanting him off the team and gone. They hated him. So much so that he got hate mail regularly suggesting that he go kill himself before someone did it for him. Maris didn't drink, run around on his wife, or do anything really but play some really good baseball. In all that he endured he still broke Babe Ruth's record fair and square.
