This lot features a Roger Maris Autographed Magazine Photo. Accompanied by a Beckett Letter of Authenticity.
Roger Maris, a legendary outfielder, etched his name in baseball history with his monumental achievement of breaking Babe Ruth's single-season home run record in 1961. Born in 1934, Maris spent the majority of his career with the New York Yankees, showcasing his power hitting and remarkable consistency. Despite facing immense pressure and scrutiny, Maris's 61 home runs that season stood as a testament to his skill and mental fortitude. His impact extended beyond his historic feat, contributing to multiple World Series championships and earning him back-to-back American League Most Valuable Player awards. Maris's legacy continues to inspire and serve as a reminder of the remarkable feats that can be achieved through determination and talent. Originated from the collection of a retired NYC police officer who was able to acquire signatures in person due to his close ties with ball players.
