Don't sleep on this deal - a Yankees pinstriped pillow was used to promote slugger Roger Maris during his classic home run showdown with teammate Mickey Mantle in 1961 as the pair challenged Babe Ruth's all-time season record of 60 (we all know how THAT turned out!). Maris often posed holding this very jersey, which was later transformed into a "pillow" by the wife of Hall of Fame outfielder Paul Waner, as was her custom. There's a similar Dodgers pillow also in this auction, if you'd like to create a bedtime battle of the boroughs.
