	Roger Maris' 61 in '61
		Roger was still just another ballplayer when he reported to camp in 1961 –; just another ballplayer, and a worried father after a hectic drive from Raytown, Missouri, with his pregnant wife and three children.
		Maris never had any doubt that the fans were not the only ones pulling for the popular Mantle; he was sure that the powers that be in the Yankees hierarchy were rooting for Mantle as well.
		Roger was too polite to point out that he also became the first player ever to hit 50 before August was torn off the calendar – and he still had one shot in his arsenal.

		In interviews with many who knew Maris, Allen shows him to have been a warm and friendly, if private, man. The book is an unabashed pitch for Maris, who died in 1985, to be elected to the Hall of Fame, but it is also most affecting, and the opening chapter is sportwriting at its best.
		Allen, a Maris friend and co-author of Lou Pinella's Sweet Lou (LJ 5/1/86), gives a warmly admiring view of the slugger whose career reached a climax with the Yankees in the 1960s.
		Introducing teammates and friends to bear testimony, Allen poignantly shows Maris to be a shy, intense athlete, plagued by media pressure and hostility from Commissioner Ford Frick and other Ruth partisans as he tried to cope with his achievement.

		Maris will remain somewhat of a mystery to readers even after all of the interviews.
		While Allen doesn't hesitate to weave Maris' record-breaking year into any stage of the narrative, he is careful to expose a gentler Maris the press actively ignored and defiled.
		This book serves more as a biography of Roger Maris the baseball player and man who broke Babe Ruth's home run record than Roger Maris the person, and there's little on his personal and family life, perhaps echoing on page the private man he was in life.
