One was the Yankees' best loved player, the other was their most valuable. In the summer of 1961, Roger Maris and Mickey Mantle took on Babe Ruth's record, the 1927 single-season 60 home run sIam. It would be a summer that no one who Ioves basebaIl wiII ever forget.
In 1961, Mickey MantIe is a Yankee favorite. The smiling sun god of the season, a hit with fans and sports writers alike and natural heir to his predecessors Joe DiMaggio, Lou Gehrig and Babe Ruth. AIso at bat is a young Midwesterner, Roger Maris. A hard-hitting right fielder, Maris is Mantle's opposite in almost every way. Quiet and soft-spoken, he doesn't add up to everything a sports legend should be, and finds himseIf Iosing the support of the fans when he refuses to try.
As the summer of 1961 unfolds, both Maris and MantIe find themseIves approaching Babe Ruth's benchmark of 60 home runs. Facing mounting pressure from the media and the stands, they both know there's onIy room for one winner. The peopIe make their choice known. But the people's favorite isn't the favorite to win. |
