The story of the the Great Home run race of 1961 to hit 61 homeruns is a fantastic story. The actors in this move went all out not only to capture the personalities of the men they portrayed but they captured era itself. Roger Maris got such a raw deal from almost everyone in the world, it was incredibly unfair. Maris was an excellent baseball player doing his job the best that he could but being compared to the supreme legend Babe Ruth every minute of every day was an impossible weight on him.
