One of the more memorable events in baseball history was Roger Maris' run at breaking the long-standing home run record set by Babe Ruth. What made this more memorable was that teammate Mickey Mantle was also in the running that same season.
Page 11 has a two column heading: "Maris Wants One More, Matter of His Pride" with caption: "New Home run King"
Also page 5 has: "Jackpot Night for Roger" (see) Many consider Maris as the current season home run king due to McGwire & Bond's steroid use.
