Incredible horizontal photograph from May 21, 1961 showing Roger Maris as he crosses the plate with his 7th Home Run of the season where he is met by... Mickey Mantle (ironically number 7) of course. A museum quality image picturing the two superstars of baseball in their iconic season. Mantle's number 7 is clearly visible as is the face of Maris as he humbly accepts their congratulations! This is a unique new discovery from famous photographer Charles Hoff and with a detailed paper caption on the back, this is being offered here for the first time ever. A weird coincidence that this is the season Maris would take over Mantle and his iconic "Number 7" and this photo shows him blasting homer number seven!
