Yankees May Be Telling Maris To Go For Fences
New York Yankees executives including Roy Hamey urged Roger Maris to swing for home runs rather than chase average. The front office, citing fan interest and revenue, previously pressed Maris to focus on power, a strategy echoed in a similar pep talk about a year earlier. Maris, sidelined by injury, entered the season with seven homers and 22 RBIs through 335 at bats, while teammate Mickey Mantle was also out with a pulled muscle.
