Maris Foresees No Easy Homers at Fenway Park
Roger Maris expects few home runs against the Red Sox at Fenway Park in the two game series, hoping to avoid hindering his push to surpass Babe Ruth's 60 home runs. He has 59 with seven games left, often finds Fenway unfriendly to lefty hitters, and will finish the stretch with five at Yankee Stadium where most of his homers came. If he reaches 61, Ruth’s mark stands but Maris will own the record for most homers in a 162 game season.
