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. Putting a cherry-on-top of that magical season, the Yankees would also win the World Series in impressive fashion.

Offered here is a 36 x 44-inch framed display that has 40 individual signatures on index cards from members of that historic and memorable 1961 World Champion New York Yankees squad. Centered in this piece is a black and white team photograph of the 1961 squad. Signatures include Hall of Famers Mickey Mantle, Yogi Berra and Whitey Ford; Roger Maris, Frank Crosetti, Earl Torgeson, Deron Johnson, Tom Tresh, Jack Reed, Lee Thomas, Wally Moses, Clete Boyer, Art Ditmar, Ryne Duren, Elston Howard, Bud Daly, Tony Kubek, an unidentified signature, Bill Gardner, John James, Jim Hegan, Ralph Houk, Ralph Terry, Bob Turly, Rollie Sheldon, Bill Skowron, Bill Stafford, Jesse Gonder, Hector Lopez, Bobby Richardson, Johnny Blanchard, Al Downing, Luis Arroyo, Hal Reniff, Joe DeMaestri, Bob Cerv, Tex Clevenger, Jim Coates, Bob Hale and Johnny Sain.
