1961 Roger Maris PSA Type 1 Encapsulated Associated Press Photo - Measures Approx. 9" x 7"
61 IN '61!!! Although the great Roger Maris is striking out in this PSA Type 1 classic Maris batting image taken on September 1, 1961, only a month later, Roger would blast a Tracy Stallard fastball into Yankee Stadium's lower deck on the last game of the 1961 season to surpass Babe Ruth's hallowed 60 homer mark. This captivating offering provides a grand view of Maris' classic swing at Yankee Stadium, and although he came up empty on this occasion, he would soon stand atop the baseball world. The well-centered black & white image has eluded any notable flaws, with the flipside including a detailed caption outlining this September 1st game that the Yankees would win 1-0. Although his AL record has now been officially broken by Aaron Judge, the legacy of Roger's "61 in '61" will forever stand the test of time, with this 1961 keepsake turning back the clock to that momentous campaign!
