Roger Maris 1961 - 55th Home Run as Called by Mel Allen, WPIX-TV, 9/7/1961

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 55 off of Cleveland's Dick Stigman 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.

Haven't heard that voice in almost half a century. Used to listen to the games on the radio in the late fifties early sixties. Thanks for the memory.
