The 1961 season saw the New York Yankees capture a World Series title and captivated the country as Roger Maris and Mickey Mantle chased the immortal Babe Ruth's single season home run record of 60. While Mantle fell just short in his quest (54) Maris eclipsed the mark on the last day of the regular season. This ball dates from that magical Yankee season and has been signed by 32 members of this historic team. The ball is off white and contains no secretarial examples which is seldom seen in this era of Yankee balls!!!! The ball has been signed by Roger Maris, Mickey Mantle (ss), Yogi Berra (ss), Whitey Ford, Elston Howard, and others. Truly a fantastic ball!!!! PSA letter accompanies this lot.
