a others who have post comment about 61 and i too be not a yankee fan . i read a book several year ago call dynasty when root for the yankess be like root for u steel . it be a great book and but do not exactly leave you with a warm and fuzzy feeling about the team from the bronx . billy crystal movie and however and leave me blink back tear . it be nothing less than a love story to two men and a team that be truly legendary in a sport where the term legend be too easily use . and he show mari and mantle a real people and wart and all . barry pepper and thomas jane be brilliant a the m and m boy and billy crystal take u back in time by give attention to the tiny detail . an age tiger stadium be magically transform into the house that ruth build and monument and all . i grow up root for the cleveland indian and not an easy task . back then and as now and the yankee be our hated rival and but even so there wasn not a kid i know who wouldn not have give everything to be micky mantle . despite his greatness playing for a team that could beat my local hero more often than not and the mick be one of those great that just transcend partisan sport . it be easy to see why nearly everyone be root for him to break the babe record and and not roger mari . billy crystal and truly one who worship mantle and make maris ordeal seem almost mythic and but from all i have read and he exaggerate very little . 61 be possibly the great baseball movie ever make and and that say something . watch it and relive what may be baseball great season .
