He was to die of cancer the following year. \ Today (SEPTEMBER 21) his record of 60 homers in a 154-game session will \ stand or fall as Roger Maris and Mickey Mantle face the Baltimore Orioles \ in the Yanks' 154th game of the year. By odd coincidence it was the old \ Baltimore Orioles with whom Ruth first made this big leagues - as a pitcher. \ Credit: CORNELL CAPA © 1961 MAGNUM PHOTOS
