Ruth and Maris home runs in games 152-163 clearly shown. Through 154: Ruth 60, Maris 58.

Babe Ruth v. Roger Maris

Maybe this will clarify it. Part of the confusion is that both the 1927 and 1961 Yankees played an early season tie game. So, their regular season schedules of 154 and 162 respectively wound up with these number of games: 155 and 163.

This table should do the trick:

	1927	1961	1927	1961
G	Ruth	Maris	Yankees	Yankees
152	57	58	107-44-1	102-49-1
153	59		108-44-1
154	60		109-44-1	103-50-1
155		59		104-50-1
156
157
158
159		60		106-52-1

162
163		61		109-53-1
	1927	1961	1927	1961
G	Ruth	Maris	Yankees	Yankees

Ruth hit number 60 in game 154.

Maris hit number 60 in game 159.

Links: the year is to the list of schedule and results; then there are links to games:

1927: 152    153    154

1961: 155    159    163

So, if you still insist that Maris broke the home run record of the previous 154 game schedule, good luck.
