Another reason for the name change was the sting of growing up and the times when wiseguy kids called him "Mar-Ass". Won the 'Gold Glove Award; for American League Outfielders in 1960, was the Sporting News, "Player of the Year" in 1960 AND 1961 as well as being honored as the Sporting News "Major League Player of the Year", also in 1960. Maris also won the "Hickock Belt", the Associated Press "Athlete of the Year" and the MVP Award, all in 1961. Defensively, he was the American League leader in fielding average for right fielders (1960 and 1964), and also in the National League (1967); and a Gold Glove outfielder (1960). Played in seven World Series,more than anyone in that decade, competing in five consecutive Series with the Yankees and two with the Cardinals. Maris was on the winning team three times. Was on the All-Star Team for seven years. "Roger Maris was as good a man and as good a ballplayer as there ever was. The greatest thing I ever saw was Maris breaking Babe Ruth's record. I don't know why Roger Maris isn't in the Hall of Fame. To me, he was as good as there ever was." Mickey Mantle. In my HOF!!
