Slugger Roger Maris of the New York
Yankees examines the famous baseball he
hit for his 61st home run, breaking Babe
Ruth's 34-year-old major league record, after receiving
it from Sam Gordon in a ceremony at Sam's Original
Ranch Wagon in Sacramento.
Gordon, restauranteur and fan, purchased the ball
for $5,000 from Sal Durante, young Brooklyn spectator
who caught it at Yankee Stadium October 1, 1961.
Gordon brought Maris and Durante and his bride,
Rosemary, to Sacramento in November for this mem-
orable occasion.
