Roger Maris to this day is considered by many the real single season home run king, lighting up the baseball World in 1961 by hitting "61 in 61", eclipsing Mantle & The Babe in the process. Despite the fame of becoming the single season home run king, Maris would often step away from the limelight, including when he would sign many baseballs. Maris single signed baseballs are among the most desirable of all non-Hall of Fame signatures, but especially those examples where he graced the sacred sweet spot. Maris would often opt to sign on side panels due to his humble nature, but not on this stunning creamy sphere. Offered here is an elusive sweet spot signed official American league vintage sphere in ballpoint by the King of 61, Roger Maris. Overall in fine condition with moderate toning.
