Very slightly off white Cronin AL baseball signed across the sweet spot by Roger Maris in green ink rating 9 out of 10. Highly desirable inscription in Maris' hand "61 in 61" bears reference to his iconic 1961 season in which he established a new single season record of 61 home runs. The ball remains in beautiful original condition with only a hint of appropriate minimal age toning. One of a very small population of Maris single signed baseballs with this particular inscription with the offered specimen ranking at the top tier of that elite group. Includes full LOAs from JSA and PSA/DNA ( 9 MINT): Ball : NM, Signature: NM/MT-MT
