 A 2001 TV movie about Maris's record-breaking season was called "61*" (pronounced "sixty-one asterisk") in reference to the controversy.Uproar over the integrity of baseball records and whether or not qualifications should be added to them arose again in the late 1990s, when a steroid-fueled power explosion led to the shattering of Maris' record.Even though it was obvious - and later admitted - by Bunyonesque Mark McGwire that he was heavily on steroids when he hit 70 home runs in 1998, ruling authorities did nothing to the annoyance of many fans and sportswriters.
