SummaryDuring the 1964 season, the race was on for the National and American League Pennants. The New York Yankees and the Cardinals became the champions of their leagues, but the road was bumpy along the way. Still, in the end, the better team won.
The Yankee management had been taken over by Yogi Berra, a former teammate to many of the veteran players. The senior players, like Mantle, Maris, and Ford were slowly deteriorating. Mantle was constantly injured. Maris was having a hard time grasping a ball and Ford’s arm was giving out on him (Halberstam 237-240).
