And then you have Roger Maris, who hit 39 home runs in 1960, 61 home runs in 1961, and 33 home runs in 1962. Why the spike? Could it be he was just on in '61?

Baseball is a fluky sport. Just because there are major fluctuations here and there doesn't mean you are cheating.

1961 was an expansion year. Pitching spread out over two new teams. You always see spikes/career years/records broken during expansion years.
