Summer| 1961: Roger Maris and Mickey Mantle are on pace to break the most hallowed record in U.S. sports| Babe Ruth's single-season 60 home runs. It's a big story|
and the intense| plain-spoken Maris is the bad guy: sports writers bait him and minimize his talent| fans cheer Mantle| the league's golden boy| and baseball's
commissioner announces that Ruth's record stands unless it's broken within 154 games. Any record set after 154 games of the new 162-game schedule will have an
asterisk. The film follows the boys of summer| on and off the field: their friendship| the stresses on Maris| his frustration with the negative attention| and his
desire to play well| win| and go home.
