Program for the Union Leader Charity Fund Baseball Dinner, held on January 18, 1961, 6 x 9, two pages, signed inside in blue ballpoint by guests Mickey Mantle, Roger Maris, Elston Howard, Whitey Ford, Gus Triandos, and Leo A. Cloutier. Also signed on the front cover by Mel Allen and Joe Dobson, and on the back cover by Bill Jackowski. In very good condition, with a central horizontal fold, scattered creases, and a few rings of staining inside; the Mantle and Maris signatures are crisp and in a clean area. Accompanied by a full letter of authenticity from JSA. A rare example signed by Mantle and Maris in 1961, which would see the Yankee teammates battle in pursuit of Babe Ruth’s single-season home run record. Mantle ended the season with 54, while Maris famously hit a record-setting 61 home runs. Pre-certified Steve Grad/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
