When Maris hit his record 61st home run of the 1961 season, he became the owner of the most glamorous of all baseball standards, a mark he has held for nearly as long as his predecessor Babe Ruth did before Maris broke it. A great outfielder with a fine arm, an adept base runner, and a team player willing to move base runners and slide hard to break up double plays, Maris was a winner in two cities, appearing in more World Series than any other player in the 1960s and establishing himself as one of the dominant players of the first half of the decade. In 1964, Maris hit for a career high - .281. Spalding Roger Maris professional model 42-217-X (experimental) fielder’s glove. The experimental component of the glove was the new ‘Super Flex’ cross laced web. Manufacturer’s labeling features a Spalding wrist label with Spalding lightly branded on the heel. This glove is properly marked, presented to us as game-used and in our opinion shows excellent wear. Accompanied by a PSA/DNA LOA.
