Nice find of two memorable baseball moments via newspapers. 1)Roger Maris' record breaking 61st. home run and surrounding details are depicted in six pages of the Oct.2, 1961 "New York Mirror". Features a game-by-game log of both Maris' and Ruth's record year, and many Maris photos. 2)Cover and back page of the Oct. 6, 1949 (New York) "Daily News" with the front page headline screaming "Henrich,1-0". as the Yankee outfielder homers in the bottom of the 9th.inning of the World Series Opener to give the Yankees the win in breaking up a classic pitching duel between the Brooklyn Dodgers Don Newcombe and the Yankees Allie Reynolds.
