What 61* Is About
The 1961 season. Two New York Yankees, Roger Maris and Mickey Mantle, chase Babe Ruth's record of sixty home runs together. The city loves Mantle; Maris is quiet, from a small town, no good at charming anyone, and the press despises him. The commissioner then announces that because the season is longer, an asterisk will sit beside the record, which is where the title comes from. Billy Crystal made this for television, and looked less at the games than at what pressure does to a man.
