in the clubhouse, sportswriters debate who will have the bigger season: Mickey Mantle, a 10-year veteran, or Maris, who, in his first season with the Yankees, won
Crystal's 61 recreates famous home-run race
Maris died of cancer in 1985, never knowing the record belonged to him. It stood until 1998, when St. Louis slugger Mark McGwire broke it on his way to hitting 70 homers in a season.
In 1991, then-baseball commissioner Fay Vincent removed the asterisk.
By Beth Harris The Associated Press
The movie opens with Maris' children and widow, Pat, watching McGwire hit the record-breaking homer. As the ball sails through the air, the scene switches to Yankee Stadium on opening day in 1961.
LOS ANGELES — Billy Crystal walked into Yankee Stadium on May 30, 1956, to see his first New York Yankees game. Forty-five years later, he combines his love of baseball and fondness for nostalgia in HBO's 61.
The title refers to the home-run record set by New York Yankee Roger Maris in 1961; the year an asterisk marked the fact the season was eight games longer than when Babe Ruth set the previous mark of 60 home runs in 1927.
"I've been in pre-production on this movie since 1956," said Crystal, who directed the film, which airs Saturday at 8 p.m. CST. "It was the best experience I've ever had as an actor or director."
Most Valuable Player honors in a narrow vote above Mantle.
"It's a sad story," Crystal said. "Roger didn't want the attention and he couldn't handle it. He couldn't give enough; he wasn't the other guy."
An infected hip forced Mantle to sit out the rest of the season, leaving Maris to cope on his own.
Crystal dedicated the movie to his father, Jack, who died in 1963.
"I thought of my dad the entire time. What a thrill he would've felt if he had been on the set and saw what I was doing with my life." Crystal said. "If he'd been a Dodger fan, this movie never would've happened."
The movie chronicles the close relationship between the hard-drinking, womanizing, flashy Mantle, and the North Dakota farm boy Maris, who doted on his family and shunned the spotlight.
"My memories are ridiculous," he said. "They were calling me Rain Man on the set."
Maris and Mantle were both competitive and protective of each other. What should have been a thrilling season of battling each other to break Ruth's record was marred by intense pressure from the team, media and fans.
Crystal possesses a fanatical knowledge of baseball and insisted on precise attention to detail.
He recreated batting stances from memory and showed the actors clips of individual Maris and Mantle at-bats. "I've been imitating these guys since I was a little kid, so I said, 'Just watch me and I'll show you,'" he said.
