New York Yankees stars Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris dominated the scene. They were vying for Babe Ruth’s record for most home runs in a single season, which was 60 at the time. The two friends embarked in a roller-coaster-like journey that saw Maris break the record and Mantle finish with 54.

Aaron Judge was key again, but Juan Soto hit 40 HRs this season and 200 homers in his career as the Yankees beat the Mariners.

Two days after speaking openly about his upcoming free agent bonanza, New York Yankees star right fielder Juan Soto found himself on the ground at T-Mobile Park on Thursday, having smashed his knee left on the wall while making a sliding catch.
