In addition to documenting Maris's amazing home run record, which he achieved in the face of great adversity from adherents of Babe Ruth, Clavin and Peary remind readers that Maris was also a Gold Glove outfielder who actually saved the 1962 World Series for the Yankees with his stellar defensive play.10aMaris, Roger,d1934-1985.20aNew York Yankees (Baseball team) 0aBaseball playerszUnited StatesvBiography. 4aBéisbolzEstados Unidos 4aJugadores de béisbolzEstados UnidosvBiografías. 4a201505001 aPeary, Danny.
