This movie is so great. Barry and Thomas couldn’t have been any better.  RIP Roger and Mickey.

The most underrated baseball movie ever

Crystal did a great job. Baseball is America's game!

I  was seven and held my Dad's hand as we walked down the Metropollitan stadium in Minneapolis to watch my first game.  As we walked to our seats which were near the batting cage and players doing some practice.  My Dad stopped and was checking the tickets for our seats. I looked out into the field and the first players I saw had their backs to me.  I noticed their numbers, 7 and 9.  Mantle and Maris were the first players I ever saw in person.  That day  Mantle hit a home run.  I have never forgotten that moment.

I miss the old Yankee Stadium. When Billy Crystal walks out in the first minute of the video, the look of the stadium brought me back to my 90s childhood at Yankee Stadium. What a hell of a summer for Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris in 1961. My late grandfather, who was in his 30s at the time, was at the game when Roger Maris broke the record on October 1, 1961. I had a chance to meet Mickey Mantle in 1994 before we lost him. A great ballplayer and a New York legend. Roger Maris was a great ballplayer and down to earth man. As far as I'm concerned, Roger Maris is still the home run king 60 years later.

You wish that Mickey and Roger would've been alive to see this movie. I'm sure for Roger especially, it would've been very painful to relive 1961 again, but he also would've been happy to see it done accurately, and the same for Mickey. They both would've said to Billy, "You did it right."

61* is still one of my favorite baseball movies.

Part of the bad feeling was because he did do it. He reminded them that Mantle was human. He did something Mantle, everyone's hero, couldn't do. And so they responded with indifference and diminished the achievement to avoid having to reckon with that.

I love Roger Maris he was one of my favorite baseball players of all time Barry Pepper did a great job playing him I love Barry Pepper and his acting such a great movie I love this movie ones of my favorite movies I love to watch over and over great job 👍❤️❣️💖⭐️😍🙏😇🕊♥️🌹

I was a fan in 61.  My uncle took me and my sister to a Sunday doubleheader.  I experienced the awe of the color of green grass and the infield brown and Bob Shepherd’s “Voice of God”. The Yankees won two games that day, and Mickey Mantle hit 3 home runs.

Roger Maris belongs in the Hall of Fame. Ford Frick drove him to his death. Baseball owes this to him.

I'm so lucky. Early on I had the same grand view and the smell of walking from the back corridors of The Stadium up the ramp toward the seats. Out of the grey concrete and the smell of bus fumes came the greenest pasture in the city, complete with the smell of cigars and hot dogs and roasted peanuts. On a Father's Day I was lucky to have departed my seat as a boy and found my way down into the depths of The Stadium and into the clubhouse area between the dugout and the dressing room where I stood and got some autographs. Mickey came off of the field like some angel where his uniform actually glowed as he made his way from the dugout to the clubhouse. What a moment! Years later, after many of those Yankees passed on, I was with a ball club that gave me access to Yankee Stadium so that I could be on the field way before other players got there. What a joy it was to stand in places where my Yankee hero's stood. So many memories.....

This was just lovely. Billy's love of the game is so wholesome. We need more of this.

Billy Crystal should make another baseball movie. I loved 61*. Thx for posting this extra from the movie.

What a magnificent job I love baseball and this was right up there with best of them! I wish he would have made a life story movie about Mickey Mantle. Mantle had the perfect life story for an outstanding picture.

I think this movie connects with any one of us (60+ yrs old) to the memories we cherish of a game and team we loved so much.

Had a friend of mine who attended a tryout and was hired as an extra. Appeared as the catcher stepping out and taking off his mask to watch #61

RIP Roger and Mickey. You were both great ballplayers.

I must have been chopping onions or something, as wet as my eyes are right now.  This little doc is as much as love letter to baseball, to childhood summers, to those two guys as the film was.  As a North Dakota boy, Roger Maris was revered in my home country, but this portrait fleshed him out as the man he was.  Well done, all around.

Billy mentioned his 1st game.  May 30, 1956.  My 1st game was April 30, 1967.  It was a cap day doubleheader vs the Angels.  Whitey Ford started game 1.  Mickey hit 2 HRs that game (1 LH/1RH).  His second HR was a 3 run walk off game winner for a 4-1 NYY win.  
I also attended Mickey Mantle Day June 8, 1969 when MM's #7 was retired.  
As someone who followed the NYY for decades, this movie was masterfully done.  TY Billy!
