The Lute Ford Brick was known As the asterisk commissioner but Fay Vincent May earn an exclamation Point for what he plans to do. Thirty years ago Frick attached a verbal asterisk to the fabled single season Home run record by separating Roger Maris from babe Ruth. Maris hit 61 homers in a 162-game season in 1961. Ruth hit 6u in a 154-game schedule in 1927. Since 1961, baseball a record books have separated the two players by the number of games played. Quot Vincent wants to change that.

"1 think there should be one record. 1 would t do it if 1 did no to think it was  in the record books Marisa 61 homers carries a parenthesis that reads 162 games. Ruth s 60 is listed under 154 games. Vincent s plan would be to remove Ruth a name altogether making Maris the undisputed record Holder. Vincent is exploring the method by which the change will be made. Quot i suspect what Well do is Convene a committee on something called statistics and history a he said. Roger Maris or. Said the family never attached an asterisk to the record. A when he hit it everybody thought people would come along and hit 62, 63, 64 or 65 that it would be no big Deal a the 32-year-old Maris said from Gainesville fla., where he works at the Beer distributorship started by his late father. As t in years have gone on i think to record has proven its Worth As far Asho hard it is to hit 61 Home runs no Matti How Many games you  the asterisk Issue surfaced in the 19l expansion season because it was the fir year the major leagues went from 154 162 games. Siwoff general manager. Hias sports Bureau which is the oficial keeper of baseball records is or pared to set the record straight. V would be receptive.
