According to this NY Times article, he had it legally changed in 1955...
Roger Eugene Maris was born in Hibbing, Minn., on Sept. 10, 1934, but was still an infant when his family moved to Fargo. N.D. The family name was Maras, but he changed it legally in 1955 to Maris. http://www.nytimes.com/learning/gene...bday/0910.html

Speaking of Zimmerman, here is a Bob Dylan autograph I picked up last week during a trip through the southern part of the country (shameless plug as it is for sale in the BST :-) )

I believe he can. And if he does, he better remember that "even the President of the United States must sometimes have to stand naked."

Roger decided to change his family name from Maras to Maris. Why? It seems that Roger was already experiencing unpleasantness from the sometimes fickle fans. Roger changed his last name so that he would not have to endure the unflattering chants from some who sat in the stands bent on rhyming his "Maras" name inappropriately. As Sister Ewals noted, he was sensitive . . . but he was still steady and focused.
I'm not sure what you could rhyme with Maras and not Maris...

I do not generally purchase vintage team signed baseballs, as I usually find the boldness of the actual signatures are considerably less than the level shown in listing photographs. Given that this ball is a more recent vintage, that was not as much of a factor. Nothing extraordinary, but it is a nice clean & dated team signed baseball by the 1968 International League Champions Toledo Mud Hens. Purchased from Frogtown Books, out of Toledo. Very fast delivery as package just arrived yesterday. |

That's a fantastic ball. I like the old balls with 'patina' and some faded signatures also, but there's something really amazing about one that survives 40-50 years in that condition, as yours has.
