Roger Maris 1961 - 52nd Home Run as Called by Mel Allen, WPIX-TV, 9/2/1961

YanksAtShea is proud to present another of eleven videos highlighting the last ten home runs of Roger Maris's magic 61 home runs hit during the 1961 season breaking Babe Ruth's single season home run record. Number 52 off of Detroit's Frank Lary was called by Mel Allen on this September afternoon in 1961 at the original Yankee Stadium. Long live the REAL all-time single season home run king Roger Maris.

Mel was awesome and so was Roger! Mantle? Always awesome even though he fell short but still had an unbelievable year himself!

Mel Allen and the scooter Phil Rizzuto should work together
