NOTES:
In
1961, Champion Records released a 45
rpm record with Phil Rizzuto
interviewing Mickey Mantle, and Roger
Maris. The interviews took place during
the summer of 1961, While the M&M boys
were battling it out for Babe Ruth's
single season home run record of 60.
Mickey Mantle fell short with 54 home
runs, but Maris would end up with 61 in
1961, a record that will stand for 37
years. Side A - "The Story of Mickey Mantle and His
Batting Tips – as told to Phil Rizzuto
has a run time of about 3 1/2 minutes.
Side B features, “The Story of Roger
Maris and his Batting Tips as Told to
Phil Rizzuto.” with a run time of
about 4 minutes.
With only one other example known to exist, this record is extremely rare.
It was released in a generic Champion
Records sleeve, with Mickey Mantle's
name on one side, and Roger Maris on
the verso. Listen to the record on
Youtube below.
