Now two men have hit 60 home runs
in a single season, both Yankeesl
:45:06
Roger Maris, and of course,
the late Babe Ruth.
:45:10
Phil, he's got four more games
to hit that 61st. My, my.
:45:16
- No. 60, one more.
- This is getting interesting.
:45:23
Will Roger bop the Babe?
:45:25
After hitting his 60th home run,
Yankee right fielder Roger Maris...
:45:29
...has failed in three games
to hit the elusive 61st.
:45:32
Try as he may, the slugging right fielder
couldn't put one into the seats.
:45:36
Now, it's down to one final game.
Will it be Roger, over and out?
:45:40
We'll find out this Sunday.
:45:44
The difference between hitting a home run
and popping up is an eighth of an inch.
:45:49
Probably less.
:45:52
I don't know where my swing's gone
in the last three games.
:45:55
I just can't seem to hit the ball.
:45:57
Maybe you're trying too hard.
:46:00
Yeah, maybe.
:46:04
You know if I hit one tomorrow...
:46:07
...the ball's gonna be worth $5,000.
:46:09
- $5,000 for a ball?
- You believe that?
:46:13
Oh, my God. It'll be a madhouse.
:46:23
I wanna do it.
:46:25
It may not count to everybody else,
but Ill know.
:46:30
Im gonna hit that home run...
:46:32
...and you'll be there.
:46:51
I will.
:46:53
Hello, everybody. This is Mel Allen.
:46:55
You couldn't have asked
for a more dramatic finish...
:46:57
...to an incredible season.
:46:59
Last game, last chance for Roger Maris.
