Fine October 1, 1961 Roger Maris 61st Home Run Photograph by Brown Brothers (OSA/DNA Type I)

Outstanding rendering of the iconic home run hit by Maris to eclipse Babe Ruth's vaunted single season home run record. Maris is shown in full follow through as he, along with umpire and catcher, watch the record setting ball fly into the stands. Black and white 8"x10" image with uncommonly strong clarity remains in fine original condition. Period pencil identifications on the back along with Brown Brothers photography stamp. One of the finest examples of this iconic image that we have encountered. Encapsulated by PSA/DNA (Type I): EX/MT-NM
