The 1961 season was special for professional baseball and especially the New York Yankees. Teammates Roger Maris and Mickey Mantle took part in the home run chase to break Babe Ruth’s single season record, which Maris accomplished by hitting 61 round trippers. With other legendary players up and down the roster, the Yankees finished the regular season with an impressive 109-53 record and beat the Cincinnati Reds in five games to capture another World Series Championship.
