I don't know the one you're asking about, but I forgot another great movie that my son and I enjoyed:


The story of Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris of the '61 Yankees, as both were competing to break Babe Ruth's record-setting homerun record.

A great Baseball movie!

I remember that one too. It was a good movie.

I also recall all the publicity about Mantle and Maris going for 61 in 154 games. I remember the last game in which Maris had a chance and a lot of people thought he would do it, the other team put in a knuckle baller.

Maris’ Wife was furious as she thought they did it just to keep Maris from getting the record rather than to win the game. I don’t even remember the other team or who won.
