Chinese Summary/中文概要： 棒球史上的傳奇人物
如果你還只認識王建民,而不認識羅傑‧馬立斯,那就遜斃了！ 羅傑‧馬立斯生涯累計1325支安打、275支全壘打，超越Babe Ruth的單季60支全壘打，但被大聯盟當局以比賽場數較多為由，以星號特別註記，破紀錄之實不被承認。
當時羅傑馬立斯同時與身在紐約洋基隊的超級球星米奇曼托競爭。
是誰能打破職棒大聯盟單季60支全壘打的記錄，在白熱化的競爭中，引爆了球場上熱烈的氣氛。而羅傑‧馬立斯，終於超越Babe Ruth的紀錄，敲出61支全壘打正好在1961年的夏天，一個被當時年代認為是永遠不可能打破的紀錄。
雖然當時他不被認可，但是在1984年球團終於在洋基球場以馬立斯之名設立紀念碑，並將其背號9號，以表彰其不凡成就。1991年大聯盟當局更將所有紀錄上被加上特殊註記的星號，包含馬立斯的單季61支全壘打，進入棒球名人堂。
棒球生涯屢逢挫折的羅傑‧馬立斯，他從跌倒中爬起的勵志故事，身為棒球迷，你不能不知道。(CL)

Reviews
“ This is a wonderful, definitive biography. What an extraordinary, misunderstood life
of a true American hero who didn’t want to be one. This is a remarkable work that belongs in every baseball fan’s house.”---LARRY KING
“Forty-nine years later, Roger Maris remains the authentic single-season home-run king.
Perhaps too little, certainly too late in recent years, he has been venerated and vindicated.
Better yet, in these pages, he is appreciated.”---BOB COSTAS
“The authors paint a splendid portrait of the Roger Maris I knew very well and the Roger Maris I wish I knew better.”---TIM McCARVER, 21-year major leaguer and Emmy-winning FOX baseball analyst
The amazing thing about the man who broke Babe Ruth’s record was how little he resembled Babe Ruth. Introverted, troubled, shy, Roger Maris was more like a next-door neighbor than any home-run king, any Sultan of Swat. His struggles to wear the heavy overcoat of fame and notoriety are fascinating. Tom Clavin and Danny Peary show us why it didn’t fit. Terrific work.---LEIGH MONTVILLE, author of the national bestseller The Big Bam: The Life and Times of Babe Ruth
