Life was never better than being a ten year old Yankee fan in 1961. EVERY player on that team was like a god to me, and none more so than Mickey and Roger. I would love to think ten year old kids can still have heroes like mine.

Roger is still the season home run leader with 61 as far as I am concerned.

I was 10 years old in 61-but the best Yankees team I ever saw was 1998

I was fortunate to see this team in person in 61 as a young boy.

He hits #60 and keeps his head down and heads to the dugout. Only reluctantly comes out for the curtain call. Such class.

I was eight years old in 1961 and one of only six Yankee fans in the small town of Jacobus, PA. Mickey Mantle was my baseball hero back then and still is today.

I was 13 years old in '61 and lived in Jersey just across the Hudson from NYC. To this day I feel the '61 Yankees were the greatest team I ever saw. They won 109 games and the American League Pennant by 8 games over the Tigers, 6 players with over 20 HR's including all 3 players listed as catchers on the roster, 6 pitchers had double didget win totals. Mantle hit over 300 with 128 RBI's and that was still SECOND on the team! As noted over the years, Roger Maris never gets enough credit for the great player he was. Back to back MVP awards and after leaving the Yankees won another series with the Cardinals and hit .385. Maybe best of all was growing up listening to Mel Allen, Red Barber and Phil Rizzutto call the games on tv and radio. Holy Cow!!!!
