Chasing down the Bambino's hallowed record, the M&M Boys battled to outgun each other during that glorious 1961 season, with Roger Maris triumphant, while Mickey Mantle came up short after suffering an infection in his hip. Originating from the estate of Cecil Finkler, a Former International League Toronto Maple Leafs team executive, we have a ball dual-signed by Mantle and Maris. An Official AL Joe Cronin ball with faded stampings, Mantle signed the sweet spot, with Maris fitted into a panel, with the placement somewhat odd, with both dark ink signatures quite faded. "1961" has also been written to the ball (Cecil Finkler passed away in 1963), with toning and a few marks visible throughout. A JSA LOA will accompany.
