Maris takes center stage in this stunning "Chase for 61" OAL Baseball!
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 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 Official American League (Brown) sphere with their recognizable and highly collectible autographs, with the former star (and one-time record holder) rightfully occupying the sweet spot. While Maris/Mantle signed baseballs are desirable in any form, the Maris sweet spot signed variety are of the utmost rarity, as Maris customarily conceded the sweet spot to the bigger personality of Mickey Mantle. Yankee collectors take notice: this is likely the first and last time you will be able to acquire this scarce variation of the coveted Maris and Mantle dual signed ball!
