Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris. Why did America have room in its heart for only one hero?
| 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 1927single-season 60 home run slam. It would be a summer that baseball fans would never forget. |
