WELCOME TO THE 1961 WORLD SERIES
"The New York Yankees are happy to welcome you to the 1961 World Series. Of the 26 Series in which the Yankees have been the American League representative, 24  have been played here in Yankee Stadium. In the Yanks' 25 previous Series, many individual and club records have been set. This year, new World Series marks are sure to be established.
The 1961 season was one of the most dramatic in New York's long and glorious baseball history. The fabulous home run race between Roger Maris and Mickey Mantle in pursuit of Babe Ruth's 34-year-old record, coupled with the record-smashing home run pace of the Yankee team as a whole highlighted Ralph Houk's first season as Yankee manager."
