Roger Maris (1934–1985) was an American professional baseball player best known for breaking Babe Ruth’s single-season home run record by hitting 61 home runs in 1961, a feat that stood for decades as one of the sport’s most iconic achievements. Playing primarily for the New York Yankees, Maris exemplified both exceptional athletic skill and personal restraint, navigating the immense pressures of media scrutiny and public expectation during an era of expanding sports celebrity.
