Is there any value to a 1961 NYY last game last out by Roger Maris baseball?
There is some value to the ball, assuming it can be authenticated as used in the last NYY game from 1961. Autographed by Maris would be even better but, alas, that is now impossible. Please send me an email so we can discuss further. There may be significant value depending solely on the provenance of this ball - in other words, the "who, what, when and where" of its history and how it was obtained. All information documenting the assertion its from Maris' record-breaking game would only enhance its value. Please drop me a line at stockyard2000@aol.com to discuss its value further.

What is the value of the ball that Mark McGwire hit to break roger maris' record?
The groundskeeper Tom Forneris retrieved Mark McGwire's home run ball number 62 (1998). The baseball was returned to McGwire, and was later sent to the baseball HOF in Cooperstown. Therefore a value cannot be put on the baseball. The year Mark McGwire broke Roger Maris's record in 1998 McGwire hit 70 Home runs, and hit 65 the following year in 1999. Mark McGwire's 63rd Home Run ball sold for $50,000. at the same auction that saw McGwire's 70th Home Run ball sell at a record $3 million in 1999. Keep in mind this is also before the steroid scandal, and both baseballs might sell at a much lower price today.

But Maris never got to see the kid's face … because he ran off before looking at it and Maris never had a chance to change his signature.
