1961 Roger Maris 61st HR Photo w/ Arrow – Original Vintage 8x10 Yankees

Original 1961 Roger Maris 61st Home Run Photo – Yankees – Rare Editorial Print

This is an authentic vintage 8x10 glossy photo capturing Roger Maris rounding the bases after his legendary 61st home run on October 1, 1961 — a defining moment in baseball history.

What sets this apart:
The arrow printed directly on the photo highlights Maris in motion, a telltale mark of editorial use. This feature indicates it was likely created for media distribution shortly after the game — not a reprint, not fan-made. These press-designated photos were reserved for newspaper editors, sportswriters, and media archives.

Features pitcher Tracy Stallard (#39) on the mound as Maris breaks Babe Ruth’s single-season home run record.

Sourced from an old personal scrapbook, not mass produced. The back is blank white with light residue from storage against pulp paper — consistent with authentic darkroom prints of the era.

Measures approx. 8 x 10 inches on real photo paper.

A must-have piece
