Roger Maris, the greatest home run hitter of them all
I was seven years old in 1961, and I saw Roger Maris hit many home runs at Yankee Stadium that summer, including one double-header against the Chicago White Sox on July 26, when he hit four home runs and Mickey Mantle hit a homer as well. I was not at Yankee Stadium to see Maris hit his 61st home run, but I wish that I had been there. Here he is in the photograph behind me. Talk about taking the bull by the horns. (Second photo)
