81. Shot In The Dark: Roger's Revenge It was about twenty years later that roger maris came out of North Dakota AmericanLegion Heitkamp, who loves baseball, doesn t really expect baseball http://www.shotinthedark.info/archives/005458.html

Main April 05, 2005 Roger's Revenge Forget Boston. Ignore Chicago. Cincinnati? Pffft. North Dakota is baseball country. Or it was in the cognitive past. As my father, Bruce Berg, related in his book, " Common Ground ", there's a long history of amateur and minor-league ball in North Dakota. Little known fact - NoDak was a stop on the old Negro League circuit in the twenties and thirties. Satchell Paige played for Bismark, and most of the other old Negro League greats played for Fargo, Jamestown, Valley City or any of the other legendary teams that played along what are now I94 and I281. The greatest moment came in 1934, when the Major League All-Stars, on their way to Japan for an exhibition series, stopped in North Dakota for a three-game stand against a hastily-assembled team of semi-pros , both Negro-leaguers and locals. This was no slouch team of big-leaguers: The All-Star team, managed by Connie Mack's son, Earle, was a great one with Foxx (.334, 44 homers and 130 RBIs in 1934), Heinie Manush (.349, 42 doubles, 89 RBIs), Roger "Doc" Cramer (.311, 202 hits), Pinky Higgins (.330, 37 doubles) and pitchers Rube Walberg (6 wins, 7 losses), Monte Weaver (11-15), Ted Lyons (11-13), and Earl Whitehill (14-11) . North Dakota combined the Bismarck, Jamestown, and Valley City teams to face the big-leaguers but were weakened when Desiderato had to return to Chicago and Trouppe left for his home in St. Louis. Double Duty was also missing for the first game when he returned briefly to his home in Chicago. Luckily the pitching was bolstered when Chet Brewer of the Kansas City Monarchs was added to the team.

More Articles Home How Much Better and More Honest Roger Maris Seems Today by Harvey Frommer The stunning news (and many of us suspected it all along) of illegal, unnatural and extraordinary body jolts, hypes and pumps for such as Jason Giambi, Barry Bonds (did we hear Sammy Sosa?) etc., makes the records, streaks and feats aided and abetted by these substances - - to not over-state the point - - lose their luster, Enter, the lustrous Roger Maris, please! The Roger Eugene Maras (his birth name) story began on September 10, 1934 in Hibbing, Minnesota. The son of first generation Croatian Americans, Rudy and Corrine Maras, Roger's grandfather Steve Maras had emigrated to the United States from Croatia around 1910. In 1939, Roger's father moved his family to Grand Forks, North Dakota and then Fargo where the young Maras excelled in baseball, basketball and football in high school. Maris was recruited to play football at Oklahoma. But he signed with the Cleveland Indians and played with Fargo-Moorhead of the Northern League. In 1955, convinced that a spelling change would make it easier for baseball fans to pronounce his name, Roger Maras changed his surname to Maris. Another reason was the memory of growing up times when mean-spirited kids called him "Mar - Ass."

More Articles Home GYP Job: Why Not Roger Maris in the Hall of Fame? by Harvey Frommer The latest voting in the Veterans Committee Hall of Fame elections last week was outright ridiculous. No one got in - -and there are so many qualified players being shafted not the least of whom was Roger Maris. In this day and age of "juiced" records, steroid enhancing accomplishments, the man who "first" broke Babe Ruth's season home run record is not being treated well. He finished with a mere 16 votes. Hall of Famer Tom Seaver, one of the voters, said it would be "awfully hard" for anyone from the 25-player ballot to get into the Hall. "And maybe that's the way it should be," Seaver said. The way it was for Roger Maris back in 1961 when he was going for the record was that Baseball Commissioner Ford Frick ruled that an asterisk would to be affixed to Maris' mark because it was achieved in 162 games, rather than the 154-game season teams played in 1927 when Ruth broke his own record. Perhaps that was what "poisoned" the waters for Maris for all time for he was a heck of a ball player and the "first who broke one heck of a record. "When Roger Maris was going for the home run record he would eat only bologna and eggs for breakfast," his friend Julie Isaacson recalled. "Every morning we would have breakfast together at the Stage Deli. We had the same waitress, and I'd leave her the same five dollar tip every time. After, I would drive Roger up to the Stadium."

McGwire is trying to break the record for most home runs in a season record, set by Fargo native Roger Maris. FOR 37 YEARS players have been trying to best the 61 home runs hit by Roger Maris. Maris, who broke the home run record set by Babe Ruth, has never gotten the credit he deserved because sportswriters didn't like the taciturn young man who unseated a legend. But Maris, who died of cancer in 1985, is a hero in his hometown of Fargo. There's Roger Maris Drive. The Roger Maris Museum. The fifteenth annual Roger Maris Celebrity Golf Tournament is this weekend; it raises money for the Roger Maris Cancer Center. On Saturday the Fargo-Moorhead Redhawks will retire the number Maris wore when he played for the F-M Twins of the old Northern League.

Major League Baseball Roger Maris: Hall of Fame Controversy by Winona Hess A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE SURPRISED to find out that Roger Maris, former longtime holder of the single-season home run record (61), is not in Major League Baseball's Hall of Fame. With all the excitement this season about home run records, the debate about whether or not Maris should be in the Hall of Fame has re-ignited. Maris broke Babe Ruth's record on October 1, 1961 in the last game of that season. The New York Yankees were hosting the Boston Red Sox. In his first at bat Maris flied out to Boston's rookie leftfielder, Carl Yastrzemski. In his second at bat, in the fourth inning, with the count at two balls and no strikes, Maris hit the orb, thrown by Boston pitcher Tracy Stallard, 360 feet over Yankee Stadium's rightfield wall and broke Ruth's record. It was 2:43pm and it was the only run of the game. That great accomplishment, however, according to the rules governing Hall of Fame eligibility, is not sufficient to get Maris elected to the shrine. The rules are written to discourage the election of what are called "short-term wonders." These are the players who have performed an outstanding feat in one season. Entrance to the Hall is based on career-long excellence. Rule Six states

A great outfielder with a fine arm, an adept baserunner, and a team player willing to move baserunners and slide hard to break up double plays, Maris was a winner in two cities, appearing in more World Series than any other player in the 1960s and establishing himself as one of the dominant players of the first half of the decade.

Go to Featured Story Archives Tell Me More About This Book Buy this Book Roger Maris and Me I grew up in the shadow of Yankee Stadium and just fell in love with baseball. When Roger Maris came to the New York Yankees from the Kansas City Athletics in 1960, I was eleven. I had been burned in a fire in August, so I was laid up for a while and followed baseball even more closely. I remember a headline that said Roger Maris "rejuvenates" the Yankees. I had never heard the word before, but it made me think this Roger Maris was someone special. For me, there was something about the way he swung the bat, the way he played right field and the way he looked. I had an idol. In 1961 the entire country was wrapped up in the home-run race between Maris and Mickey Mantle and Babe Ruth's ghost. I cut out every single article on Roger and told myself that when I got older and could afford it, I would have my scrapbooks professionally bound. (Eight years ago I had all of them bound into eleven volumes.) I usually sat in Section 31, Row 162-A, Seat 1 in Yankee Stadium. Right field. I would buy a general admission ticket, but I knew the policeman, so I would switch over to the reserved seats, and that one was frequently empty.
