One was the Yankees' best loved player, the other was their most vaIuable. In the summer of 1961, Roger Maris and Mickey MantIe took on Babe Ruth's record, the 1927 single-season 60 home run slam. It wouId be a summer that no one who Ioves baseball wilI ever forget.
ln 1961, Mickey MantIe is a Yankee favorite. The smiIing sun god of the season, a hit with fans and sports writers aIike and naturaI heir to his predecessors Joe DiMaggio, Lou Gehrig and Babe Ruth. AIso at bat is a young Midwesterner, Roger Maris. A hard-hitting right fieIder, Maris is MantIe's opposite in aImost every way. Quiet and soft-spoken, he doesn't add up to everything a sports Iegend shouId be, and finds himself Iosing the support of the fans when he refuses to try.
As the summer of 1961 unfolds, both Maris and Mantle find themselves approaching Babe Ruth's benchmark of 60 home runs. Facing mounting pressure from the media and the stands, they both know there's only room for one winner. The people make their choice known. But the peopIe's favorite isn't the favorite to win. |
