Maris also has the unusual distinction of being one of three former Cardinals with a plaque in his honor in the memorial area behind the left field wall at Yankee Stadium.
The other two are Pope Paul VI and Pope John Paul II -- in commemoration of the outdoor Masses they held at Yankee Stadium during their visits to the U.S.
How's that for some trivia, eh? :-)
