Description
For baseball card collectors, when you think of Roger Maris you think of this card. This classic card from one of the hobby’s most popular sets is a symbol of the home run chase that transcended baseball and transfixed the nation. Maris was coming off an MVP campaign in 1960 following a trade to the Yankees in December 1959 so expectations for Maris and the Yankees were already high going into 1961. Both answered the call. The Yanks won 109 games and the World Series while Roger hit 61 homers and broke the most hallowed record in sports while under immense pressure. (Good-Very Good Condition)
