Also in this lot is a photograph of Roger Maris and his wife taken by his friend and classmate who was the original owner of this yearbook and whose name appears on the inside front cover of this annual. Roger Maris played in the minor leagues 1953 to 1956, and in the major leagues 1957 to 1968 most notably with the New York Yankees. He was an All-Star from 1959 through 1962, an AL Most Valuable Player in 1960 and 1961, and an AL Gold Glove Award winner in 1960. Maris appeared in seven World Series (winning in 1961 and 1962 for the Yankees and in 1967 for the Cardinals). And he is well remembered for setting a new major league baseball single-season home run record with 61 home runs in 1961. As of July 2019, Maris continued to hold the American League record for most home runs in a season. During that historic 1961 season he played with notable teammates Mickey Mantle, Yogi Berra, Elston Howard, and Whitey Ford.
