How many ladies do you suppose were kissed by both Ruth and Maris? Probably only one. Fantastic black and white image of Roger Maris planting a kiss on Mrs. Babe Ruth. Not quite as scandalous as one might imagine. AP photo (7-3/8 x 10") shot September 26, 1961 at Yankee Stadium, the day Maris tied the magical mark of 60 home runs, previously attained only by George Herman Ruth. Perfect signature in red is a 9.5 out of 10 overall.
