Best known as the fellow Yankee who broke Babe Ruth's home run record with 61 home runs in the memorable 1961 season, Roger Maris was also one of the finest players of his time, appearing in more World Series than any other player of the 1960s. During his first year with the Yankees (1960), Maris was tops in the league with a .581 slugging percentage and beat out Mickey Mantle for the MVP. With "The Mick," Maris helped usher in a new Yankees dynasty of five consecutive pennants. Many believe that his Hall of Fame qualification is long past due. Maris has signed this toned OAL MacPhail ball on the sweet spot, with the bold, clear signature grading at least a 9. Comes with a letter from PSA/DNA.
