The M&M Boys are paired for the ages in this beautiful ball, which was signed for friend Mike Shannon. This Official American League (Brown) baseball is EX-MT with the slightest of toning, in 9/10 blue ink on the sweet spot is "Best Wishes, Mickey Mantle" and right below on the top of the bottom panel is "Roger Maris" in the same 9/10 blue ink. The two linked in the Yankees order to stage one of the most memorable home run clashes in history, with Maris finishing with 61 in 1961. Often forgotten is that Mantle slammed 54 in his own right before missing the final weeks due to injury. This is a gorgeous and historic display piece. Comes with PSA LOA.
