One of the most iconic moments in baseball history, Roger Maris of the Yankees is seen here slamming his 61st home run into the seats at Yankee Stadium making him the all time greatest slugger in baseball history. While there are a couple of different versions of this event that exist, this is one of the finest showing Maris at the pinnacle of his swing, fully extended and with his eyes still down before he turned his attention to watching the flight of the ball. One of the greatest images of Maris hitting his 61st homer that has ever been offered for sale and a rare original from the day it happened!
