Maris Not On Pace For 61 As Yankees Win
Roger Maris remains short of 61 homers and a .269 average this season, yet he is central to a string of Yankees wins. In a three game arc, Maris either scored or drove in every Yankee run, including a 2-0 victory over Detroit aided by Bill Stafford’s 10-7 win. The article notes Maris signed for 70,000 this season despite doubts he would reach 61 homers, yet his continued production keeps him valuable to New York.
