The story on this card
Two home run marks share #413 in the All-Time Record Holders subset (#411-418) of the 1979 Topps set. Roger Maris, printed with the New York Yankees, is on the card for the single-season figure of 61 home runs in 1961, the 61st hit on October 1 at Yankee Stadium off Boston's Tracy Stallard in the last game of a 162-game schedule. Hank Aaron, printed with the Atlanta Braves, is on it for the career total of 755, and his number 715 came off Dodgers pitcher Al Downing on April 8, 1974.
Roger Maris - the Yankees right fielder who broke Babe Ruth's single-season home run record with 61 in 1961, a back-to-back American League MVP and three-time World Series champion in New York and St. Louis. Hank Aaron spent 23 major-league seasons with the Braves and Brewers. The right fielder passed Babe Ruth's career home run record in 1974 and finished with 755 home runs and 3,771 hits.
