Jim VBMaris played 12 full seasons in the majors. He hit almost half of his career homers in just 3 of those seasons (1960,1961, 1962) but, the biggest performance enhancer he had was the fact that he was batting directly in front of Mickey Mantle. He saw an awful lot of good pitches with the guys behind him being named Mantle, Berra, Skowron, and Howard.
