One of the most important moments in sports history, and this rare photo captures it from a rare angle! The photograph (an unnamed lens master from the Associated Press) was stationed on top of the Yankees dugout and he snapped his camera just as Roger Maris was about to touch home plate with his 61st home run to break the record held by Babe Ruth. An impressive specimen from a rarely seen angle, the image is in essentially perfect condition and it retains its original paper label. A rare piece of baseball history from a rarely seen perspective!
