Maris now enjoys golf and beer business life in Florida
Nineteen years after chasing Ruth's record, Roger Maris lives quietly in Gainesville as a beer distributor for Anheuser-Busch. He follows standings loosely, plays golf weekly, and has no desire to return to baseball, recalling the 1961 season and the asterisk controversy with a shrug. He treasures family life, appreciates home nightly, and remains a onetime Yankee linked to Mantle Berra and Kubek while admiring current teams from afar.
