During the early 1960s, the New York Yankees' very own "M&M Boys" instilled a morbid fear within the hearts and psyches of opposing pitchers throughout Major League Baseball. Of course, the feeling of terror experienced by pitching staffs was well-founded, as the Mantle and Maris nearly inconceivable one-two punch totaled 115 moonshots in 1961—a a dual feat that remains unmatched. Roughly two decades removed from their simultaneous chase of Babe Ruth's single-season home run standard, Yankee legends Roger Maris and Mickey Mantle decorated this limited edition (98/115) full sized custom Baseball bat. Signed by both legends in felt tip marker next to their respected statistics from that magical 1961 season. These seldom seen dual signed bats remain as the only known dual signed bats by the M&M Boys to ever be issued. Overall in excellent condition. Accompanied by a full letter of authenticity from James Spence Authentication (JSA).
