Regardless of what MLB will tell you, the legitimate Major League Baseball single season home run record is owned by none other than Roger Maris, who clubbed 61 in the year 1961. Period. Full stop. The six entries above Roger are all from the height of the steroid era — which is mostly considered between the late 1980s up to around 2010. Baseball purists know it. And certainly Yankee fans know it.

This rare 1961 Topps #2 Roger Maris baseball card (rated BGS BCCG 7 Very Good+) is a must have for any serious New York Yankees memorabilia collector, and especially if you’re looking to take your Pinstripe fan cave to the next level. This is a manufacturer direct item and will ship on or before Thursday, August 11, 2022. At this writing there is only 1 left, so order NOW!
