Mickey Mantle today hit his 53rd home run but Roger Maris failed to get any in their attempts to break Babe Ruth's record while the New York Yankees continued their amazing mastery over the Cleveland Indians by sweeping a double match by 7-6 and 9-3.
Mantle's blow came in the third inning of the night game and left him two games behind the pace Ruth set in 1927 when he hit 60 horders.
Maris, observing his 27th birthday, has 68 home rung and Is four games ahead of Ruth's pace.
