Former Yankee manager Ralph Houk recounts the historic 1961 season, when sluggers Roger Maris and Mickey Mantle pursued Babe Ruth's home run record, and the team, considered by many to be the greatest ever, battled its way to the championship

From Publishers Weekly
Probably more ink has been devoted to the 1961 Yankees than to any other team in sports, yet this chronicle by the manager of that team and sports scribe Creamer (Babe, Stengel) has freshness and a sense of drama. After winning the 1960 pennant, the aging and somewhat crotchety Casey Stengel was forced out as manager despite his brilliant record, and Houk was named to replace him. The team got off to a shaky start, and criticism of the rookie manager was widespread in the media, particularly galling when it was suggested that he should call Stengel for advice. But the play improved steadily, with Ford, Berra and, of course, the Maris-Mantle home-run combination leading the way. Eventually, Maris's 61 homers and Mantle's 54 made the year especially memorable as the Yankees went on to win the pennant and the World Series.
