The professional Major League Baseball teams that Roger Maris played for were the Cleveland Indians, the Kansas City Athletics, the New York Yankees and the St. Louis Cardinals.
The Cleveland Indians traded Roger Maris primarily because he struggled to find consistent success with the team, hitting just .255 in his time there. In 1959, they dealt him to the Kansas City Athletics, partly to clear space on the roster and because they believed he wouldn't reach his full potential with them. Maris would later blossom into a star with the New York Yankees, famously breaking Babe Ruth's home run record in 1961.

In 1959, Roger Maris played for the Kansas City Athletics. On Base Percentage (OBP) is considered by many to be a better measure of a great hitter than the Batting Average. It is calculated with the formula (Hits + Walks + Hit by Pitch) / (At Bats + Walks + Hit by Pitch + Sacrifice Flies). In 1959, Roger Maris had 433 at bats, 118 hits, 58 walks, and was hit by the pitch 3 times. He had 4 sacrifice flies. That gives him an On Base Percentage of .359. Slugging Percentage (SLG) is a popular measure of a batter's power. It is calculated as (Total Bases) / (At Bats). Another way to look at it is (Singles + 2 x Doubles + 3 x Triples + 4 x Home Runs) / (At Bats). In 1959, Roger Maris had 433 at bats, and hit 74 singles, 21 doubles, 7 triples, and 16 home runs, for a .464 slugging percentage. Being able to get on base and to hit for power are two of the most important offensive skills in baseball, so the On Base Percentage and Slugging Percentage are often added together. On-base plus slugging (OPS) is a sabermetric baseball statistic. The best hitters in Major League Baseball can achieve an OPS of .900 or higher. In 1959, Roger Maris had a .359 On Base Percentage and a .464 Slugging Percentage for an OPS of .824. Runs Created (RC) is a baseball statistic invented by Bill James to estimate the number of runs a hitter contributes to his team. There are a number of formulas used to calculate it. One of the simplest is (On Base Percentage) × (Total Bases). In 1959, Roger Maris had a .359 On Base Percentage and 201 Total Bases for 72.25 Runs Created.
