Summary: 61*
Comment: What a "maaaaahvelous" book put out by Ron Smith and Billy Crystal. A perfect companion to the movie. This book takes us baby boomer Yankee fans back to a magical time in our lives.
The photgraphy is phenomenal and the text --smooth,easy to read and very informative. I loved this book so much I ordered for my sister for Christmas. I have no doubt she will enjoy as much as I did. Everything in the 6l season for the Yankees was amazing, Mantle, Maris, Ford, the unbelievable infeild--this book covers it ALL to perfection. i must read for aging Yankee fans.

Summary: If you loved the movie...
Comment: Like I did, you will love this book. It is a great companion piece to the movie.
Most of the book is full of pictures and narratives about the great 1961 season when Mantle and Maris were chasing the Babe's home run record. (Aside, Maris' 61 home runs, which stood for 37 years, is now only 7th best all time?). There are lots of pics of the real Mantle and Maris as well as a discussion of the movie. And of course, there is the postscript of M and M after their Yankee careers ended. And sadly for both, very early and untimely deaths.
M and M were the talk of baseball and New York in 1961. Forty years later as we watch their descendants try to bring New York together with another World Series crown we can remember the innocence the joy and heartbreak of 61 and we can thank Billy Crystal for helping us to relive the innocence that was our youth.

Comment: This is the way sports should be! Two men, who gave it their all
for their team. It was more for the sport and not the money!
Great book!
