Roger Maris' quest to shatter Babe Ruth's single-season home run record added extra drama to the Yankees' 1961 pennant drive, and each of the tickets included in this lot come directly from that unforgettable season. Each of the stubs correspond to a Mantle or Maris home run as the two dueled each other until Mantle had to bow out due to injury. Included here is the very important Maris #61 (VG with tape stain) and #60, of which there are two (VG). Number 60 is actually a tougher find than #61, making this quite the collection. Also included are: Mantle #49, #50 game, a ticket from Maris' first major league game in 1957 and full ticket to a 1964 Maris grand slam. Some very important dates in baseball history are covered here and the overall collection is VG-EX.
