It’s a beautiful day in the Bronx as a huge crowd takes in the June 30, 1960 matinee, between the Bronx Bombers and the Kansas City A's. The Bombers are revving things up as the season turns towards the summer months. Coming into this game, they have just gone into first place riding the crest of a hot streak that would see them win 19 of 24 contests. The Bombers would live up their name this day as they would belt five round trippers while cruising to a 10-3 victory.

Watching the action intently from the on-deck circle, in his first season in New York is Roger Maris. One inning earlier, he belted his 25th dinger of the season. Now it was the Mick’s turn to go deep, as he rockets this pitch from Bob Trowbridge into the right field seats. It was the Commerce Comet's 18th round tripper. Suddenly there was a buzz in the air, would Mantle or Maris come close to Babe Ruth’s magical number of 60 home runs?

Mantle and Maris would stage an epic home run derby during the 1960 season, with the Mick’s league leading 40 homers edging Maris by one. This turned out to be the appetizer of what would happen in 1961 when the M&M boys make a full assault at the Babe’s storied mark.
