This page is dedicated to Jim Dedman, 1951-1998, a baseball fan.

Maris records are from Spink Official Baseball Guide, 1962.

Sosa records are from STATS.

Sosa distances and situations are from news accounts. Your mileage may vary.

Many thanks to Benjamin Zober and the Society for American Baseball Research for the Spink guide.

Note: Sosa's 1998 Cubs, McGwire's 1998 Cardinals and Maris's 1961 Yankees each played 163 games, one more than the usual. Tie games that are suspended are replayed, and individual statistics from both games count. No player hit a home run in the "extra game."
