Roger Eugene Maris (September 10, 1934 – December 14, 1985) was an American professional baseball player who played four seasons in the minor leagues and twelve seasons in the major leagues. Maris played right field on four Major League Baseball (MLB) teams, from 1957 through 1968.
Maris set the MLB record for home runs during the 1961 season with 61, breaking Babe Ruth's single-season record of 60 home runs in 1927. This record was challenged by then baseball commissioner Ford Frick, who said that Maris needed to break the record in 154 games instead of the current schedule of 162 games. His accomplishment of 61 home runs in a season came back to the forefront in 1998, when the home run record was broken by Mark McGwire and later that same year by Sammy Sosa.

Roger Maris 1961 - 61st Home Run as Called by Red Barber, WPIX-TV, 10/1/1961
YanksAtShea proudly presents a genuine rarity; a restored clip of Roger Maris' Legendary 61st Home Run as called by Red Barber and aired over WPIX-TV. October 1, 2011 was the 50th anniversary of this marvelous moment. We must warn you the biggest disappointment is Red's call. Barber was perhaps the finest RADIO baseball sportscaster ever; but NOT the finest TV sportscaster. His call of a truly GREAT sports moment is mediocre at best and third rate at its worst...it's as if he didn't care especially compared to Phil Rizzuto's radio call. Who cares about someone winning $5,000; Maris, against all odds (and against Mickey Mantle), just set the single season home run record. Oh well, at least the video looks terrific. Enjoy with our compliments and visit our YanksAtShea page here at YouTube a...

Mickey Mantle talks about his 1961 home run race with Roger Maris. Excerpted from the award-winning program, Mickey Mantle: The American Dream Comes To Life®. Available on DVD at 1-800-THE MICK / www.themick.com.
Roger Eugene Maris (September 10, 1934 – December 14, 1985) was an American professional baseball player who played four seasons in the minor leagues and twelve seasons in the major leagues. Maris played right field on four Major League Baseball (MLB) teams, from 1957 through 1968.
Maris set the MLB record for home runs during the 1961 season with 61, breaking Babe Ruth's single-season record of 60 home runs in 1927. This record was challenged by then baseball commissioner Ford Frick, who said that Maris needed to break the record in 154 games instead of the current schedule of 162 games. His accomplishment of 61 home runs in a season came back to the forefront in 1998, when the home run record was broken by Mark McGwire and later that same year by Sammy Sosa.
