A 14x22 black and white newspaper page from the Los Angeles Times Sports page dated 10/2/1961. The page has been framed and the entirety of the piece measures larger. The headline is “MARIS COMES OUT SWINGING, HITS 61ST”. Below is a picture of Roger Maris hitting his 61st home run and the caption reads “HISTORIC SWAT - Roger Maris of New York Yanks follows through swing after connecting for 61st home run of year”. Maris signed on his photo in blue ink and in our opinion the signature rates a 9. Accompanied by a LOA from JSA.
