61* (2001)
Im Jahre 1961 verfügen die New York Yankees über zwei begabte Schlagmänner, nämlich den lebenslustigen Mickey Mantle und den scheuen Roger Maris. Nach einem unauffälligen Start schlagen Mantle und Maris einen Home Run nach dem anderen. Als deutlich wird, dass sie den Home Run-Rekord von Babe Ruth (60) übertreffen können, jubeln die Fans dem beliebten Mantle zu und buhen den asketischen Maris aus.
