The legend of the 1961 Yankees season is part of our national past-time’s DNA. It is best known for the home run chase between Roger Maris and Mickey Mantle, with Maris beating Babe Ruth’s single season record by hitting 61, in ‘61. The 1961 Yankees are often mentioned as a candidate for the unofficial title of greatest baseball team in history. Lightly shellacked evenly toned baseball, with 24 signatures. Notables include: Roger Maris, Elston Howard, Bobby Richardson, Moose Skowron and HOFers Mickey Mantle, Yogi Berra and Whitey Ford. Clubhouses include: Kubek, Houk, Terry, Lopez, Turley and Sain. The signatures are faint. Accompanied by a full letter from PSA/NDA.
