Roger Maris Autograph w/ Original Photo Breaking Babe Ruth’s Home Run Record
Roger Maris Autographed Card and Home Run Photo
On the last day of the 1961 season, Roger Maris, hit his 62nd home run to break the single season record held by Babe Ruth! In this video, I purchase a baseball card signed by the New York Yankee legend that was issued the next season (1962) commemorating that event. An original photo from Sports Illustrated accompanies the card. Both items were purchased from the original owner who met Roger Maris in 1983 shortly before his untimely death less than 2 years later!
