The New York Yankees' 1961 season was the 59th season for the Yankees. The team finished with a record of 109-53, winning their 26th pennant, finishing 8 games ahead of the Detroit Tigers. New York was managed by Ralph Houk. The Yankees played at Yankee Stadium. In the World Series, they defeated the Cincinnati Reds in 5 games.

The 1961 season was notable for the Home Run race between Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris. Maris eventually beat Babe Ruth's previous single season record; achieving 61 home runs on the last game of the season. Maris had seven multi Home Run games. In a doubleheader against the Chicago White Sox, Maris hit four home runs.

1961 was an expansion year, with the American League increasing from 8 to 10 teams, the first expansion in the 61-year history of the league. The old schedule of 154 games (7 opponents X 22 games apiece) was replaced by 162 games (9 opponents X 18 games apiece) which led to some controversy due to the 8 extra games that Maris had to try to hit 61. Maris' record is now considered the sole American League single season record. At the time it was also the major league record, but it was broken by Mark McGwire of the St. Louis Cardinals in 1998.

  • On January 16, 1961, Mantle became the highest-paid baseball player by signing a $75,000 contract.

[edit] Roger Maris

In 1961, the American League expanded from 8 to 10 teams, generally watering down the pitching, but leaving the Yankees pretty much intact. Yankee home runs began to come at a record pace. One famous photograph lined up six 1961 Yankee players, including Mantle, Maris, Yogi Berra, and Bill Skowron, under the nickname "Murderers Row," because they hit a combined 207 home runs that year. The title "Murderers Row", originally coined in 1918, had most famously been used to refer to the Yankees side of the late 1920s. As mid-season approached, it seemed quite possible that either Maris or Mantle, or perhaps both, would break Babe Ruth's 34-year-old home run record. Unlike the home run race of 1998, in which the competition between Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa was given extensive positive media coverage, sportswriters in 1961 began to play the "M & M Boys" against each other, inventing a rivalry where none existed, as Yogi Berra has testified in recent interviews.
