Known as the "M&M Boys," Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris teamed up for one of the most exciting summers of baseball in 1961. With both men on the chase for beating Babe Ruth's record of sixty home runs in a season, the country watched carefully, many rooting against them in defense of Ruth keeping the record. Injuries led Mantle to drop out of the race near the end, but Maris continued, and in the final game of the season, he hit number 61. The offered 8" x 10" color photo has been signed by both players in black sharpie, and is framed to measure 18.5" x 23". Full LOA from PSA/DNA.
