Vote Roger Maris in the National Baseball Hall of Fame

This petition calls for the Baseball Writers Association of America (BBWAA) Historical Overview Committee to honor the memory of former Major League Baseball Outfielder Roger Maris by selecting him as one of the 10 candidates on the Golden Days Committee's ballot to be considered for election to the National Baseball Hall of Fame.

Up until his premature death at age 51 on December 14, 1985, Roger Eugene Maris was a treasured, loyal & caring friend, and a terrific teammate. He showed tremendous and admirable courage during his career and throughout his life, playing the game he loved with heart and soul. The person he was on and off the field defines heroism. That’s the kind of athlete the Hall of Fame needs right now. Elect Roger Maris the player and Roger Maris the man.
