A print of a black and white photograph featuring former New York Yankees teammates Roger Maris and Mickey Mantle. Maris and Mantle have both signed the photograph in blue marker. Maris and Mantle will be forever linked due to the 1961 Major League Baseball season. The 1961 season was notable for the race between center fielder Mickey Mantle and right fielder Roger Maris to break Babe Ruth's then record of 60 home runs in a season (set in 1927). Maris eventually broke the record, hitting his 61st home run on October 1, the season's final day. During the season, Maris had seven multi-home run games; in a doubleheader against the Chicago White Sox, he hit four home runs. The photograph is accompanied by a letter of authenticity from JSA.
