Yes. He was a smart and adept right fielder who won an American League Gold Glove for excellence in 1960. His outfield prowess was a key reason why the New York Yankees won the 1962 World Series against the San Francisco Giants. In Game 7 at Candlestick Park, the Yankees were holding on to a tenuous 1-0 lead with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning. Maris made a crucial play on a double to right by Willie Mays. The Yankees' star quickly cut off the ball and made a strong throw to prevent the Giants' Matty Alou from scoring all the way from first base. The game ended with Alou at third and Mays on second when San Francisco's Willie McCovey lined sharply to New York second baseman Bobby Richardson.
