Item Description
Rare and desirable, 1.75", no maker. This is the mate to the next item, Mantle button. This historic race for the home-run total ended in September when Mantle suffered an injury, but Maris continued hitting home-runs and hit the record-breaking 61st on October 1, 1961. Roger Maris began his Major League baseball career in 1957 with the Cleveland Indians for two seasons followed by a two year stint with the Kansas City Athletics before coming to the New York Yankees in 1960. For the next three seasons, Maris would be one of the most dominant hitters in baseball, including his incredible '61 season breaking Babe Ruth's single season home run record of 60, which had stood since 1927. Roger would finish his career in the National League with the St. Louis Cardinals in 1968, bringing his career totals to .260 with 275 home runs and 850 RBI's. Celluloid surface has numerous but largely small and light all over surface wear that is seen just in reflected light. There is no stain and button retain nice gloss. VF. Only a few examples known of each button. Paul Muchinsky Collection Book Example.
