Signed Roger Maris Photo
Signed by Roger Maris, this photo (collected by Tony Gwynn) captures his record-breaking 61st home run in 1961, a defining moment from the two-time MVP’s legendary career.
Description
Framed and signed photograph of Roger Maris, preserved by the Tony Gwynn Estate, immortalizing one of the most legendary moments in baseball history—Maris’ 61st home run in the 1961 season. That swing shattered Babe Ruth’s long-standing single-season home run record and secured Maris a place in the sport’s pantheon. A two-time American League MVP, Maris earned the honor in both 1960 and 1961, the latter year defined by his record-setting performance under immense public pressure. This piece represents not only a milestone in the game’s history but also Gwynn’s appreciation for those who shaped the narrative of greatness before him.
