Tracy Stallard, Who Gave Up Historic Maris Homer, DEAD @ 80

In 1961 Roger Maris hit a Tracy Stallard fastball into the right-field seats in Yankee Stadium breaking Babe Ruth’s record of 60 home runs.  It was the very last day of that season.  Ruth's record had stood since 1927.  This record breaking event was not without controversy; Ruth claimed he did it in four less games and the baseball commissioner at the time agreed allowing the Ruth record to stand.
