A historical sports drama exploring the collision between public adoration and unfair scrutiny as two Yankees compete to break baseball's most sacred record.

In 1961, Roger Maris and Mickey Mantle played for the New York Yankees. One, Mantle, was universally loved, while the other, Maris, was universally hated. Both men started off with a bang, and both were nearing Babe Ruth's 60 home run record. Which man would reach it?
