They gave him the finger first, frankly. In 1961 the fans wanted Mantle, not Maris, to break the record, and they showed it.

are you serious about the Rice/Reggie comparison?

10 best seasons OPS+:

157/154/147/141/136/130/127/123/122/120
189/172/166/161/155/150/149/147/144/138

it’s not even close.

What he brought to the Yankees was an oversized ego, which, when combined w/ Billy's alcoholism, created several years of dysfunction. His lifetime 262/356/490 doesn't seem HOF worthy. I mean, people bitch about Rice getting in (and IMO, rightly so) and he had a lifetime line of 298/352/502.
