$69,995.00
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. In 1960, his first year with the Yankees, Maris was tops in the league with a .581 slugging percentage and beat out teammate Mickey Mantle for the MVP. Maris helped usher in a new Yankees dynasty of five consecutive pennants and won back-to-back MVP awards in the 1960 and 1961 seasons. This Spalding baseball glove was used by Maris during his historic 1961 MVP season. The outfielder’s glove measures 12 inches and is made of leather with a 1 piece Cross Laced web style. The glove displays substantial use in the pocket, face of the web and throughout the body. “Maris” appears on the back of the thumb in black marker. There is a photo of Roger Maris with Babe Ruth's Wife holding a very similar glove. Accompanied by a PSA/DNA LOA.
