61*

61* (2001)

Tagline: Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris. Why did America have room in its heart for only one hero?

Synopsis:
Summer, 1961: Roger Maris and Mickey Mantle are on pace to break the most hallowed record in U.S. sports, Babe Ruth's single-season 60 home runs. It's a big story, and the intense, plain-spoken Maris is the bad guy: sports writers bait him and minimize his talent, fans cheer Mantle, the league's golden boy, and baseball's commissioner announces that Ruth's record stands unless it's broken within 154 games. Any record set after 154 games of the new 162-game schedule will have an asterisk. The film follows the boys of summer, on and off the field: their friendship, the stresses on Maris, his frustration with the negative attention, and his desire to play well, win, and go home.

IMDb Rating: 8 stars out of 10

I was able to watch this film. Though I am not a baseball fan, this masterpiece of Billy Crystal will touch not only baseball fans but also those who aren't.

In the movie, AMH played the role of Whitey Ford, a left-handed pitcher. Instead of learning to pitch left-handed, he wore his Yankee uniform number and logo backwards, and pitched right-handed; the image was theh flipped.[/img]
