In this week's episode, host Ted Keith talks with senior writer Rick Telander about his story, "The Record Almost Broke Him," from the June 20, 1977 issue of Sports Illustrated. Telander and Keith discuss how the run-up to breaking Babe Ruth's long-standing homerun record, and the media storm that followed, impacted Maris's life. It was well known that Maris shied away from the spotlight, even in the years after he walked away from baseball with one of the most important records in sports.
