Roger Eugene Maris (September 10 1934 - December 14 1985) was an American right fielder in Major League Baseball who is primarily remembered for breaking Babe Ruth's 34-year-old single-season home run record in 1961 on the last day of the season. 37 years later, in the 1998 season, Mark McGwire broke his major league record by hitting 70. Maris remains the American League record holder as of the 2006 season. Wikipedia
