I used to own this same shot, autographed by Maris, and it really is a nice, authentic Maris signature.  But I have seen this for years, being advertised as his 61st HR when in reality, it cannot be, and is most likely #60.

The catcher in the photo, has a Baltimore Orioles uniform. If you ever get a chance to see this photo, you will see that the "B" sticking out of his chest protector, is a scripted "B", which were the Orioles away uniforms. if it were #61, it would be a block "B", which were the red sox away uniforms then.

I know this is a minor point, but it has always bugged me that this photo has been misrepresented for years.  Again, the signature is not in question, it is perfect.
