En 1961, Roger Maris sorprendió al mundo conectando 61 cuadrangulares con los New York Yankees, convirtiéndose en uno de los pocos jugadores en la historia en superar los 60 HR en una campaña. Su marca se mantuvo como récord de Grandes Ligas durante 37 años, hasta que en 1998 Mark McGwire la dejó atrás con 70 jonrones. Un logro histórico que marcó una era. ⚾💥 #SabíasQue #RogerMaris #Yankees #MLB #61HR #1961 #HistoriaDelBeisbol #Leyenda #Beisbol #HomeRunRecord #DidYouKnow #RogerMaris #Yankees #6
