* Roger Maris home run record (#61)
* New York Yankees (1st report)
The sports page reports one of the more notable events in all of baseball history: the 61st home run of New York Yankee Roger Maris, breaking the Babe Ruth record which stood for 34 years.
The sport's section (page 6) has a five column headline: "Maris All-Time Homer King". Many consider Maris' single season HR feat as the true record prior to the steroid era (Bonds).
Complete in 8 pages, a few small binding holes at the spine, otherwise nice.
