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 homerun slam. It would be a summer that no one would ever forget… But why did America have room in its heart for only one hero? Set in New York City in 1961, 61 is a film directed by Billy Crystal for baseball lovers. Zooming in on Yankee players Roger Maris and Mickey Mantle, the film follows these two opposites as they attempt to break Babe Ruth’s 1927 home run record. In heated competition, the two players each try to hit over 60 home runs and set the new record. While the fans align themselves with one player to be the winner, the players choose the other, igniting the playing field with tension, excitement, and anticipation. A fascinating spectacle from baseball history, Home Run Derby: Volume 1 is culled from a weekly, syndicated television program that was produced from 1959 to 1961 and pitted Major League Baseball sluggers against one another in a home-run duel. Essentially, one American League and one National League player would take turns at bat in Wrigley Field, where the Pacific Coast League’s Los Angeles Angels regularly played. The charm of the show is in its simplicity, and the way it seems both relaxed and tense with competing players such as Mickey Mantle, Willie Mays, Ernie Banks, Hank Aaron, and Jim Lemon. It is really a pleasure to see Mantle serenely assess his own performance or admire that of Mays or Banks. FREE ECONOMY USA S&H applies to this item. Multiple DVD Sets and Box Sets are extra.
