Mantle Aims for Foxx Mark in 1961 Home Run Chase
Yankee slugger Mickey Mantle set sights on Jimmie Foxx as he nears the all time home run totals. Mantle hit his 519th career homer in a 6 1 victory over California, two behind Williams for fourth all time and chasing Foxx at 634. He said finishing third would be nice as Babe Ruth 714 and Willie Mays 665 stand ahead. Other AL results included Oakland over Baltimore in 13, Detroit over Cleveland, and Washington over Minnesota. In NL action Cincinnati edged St Louis in 12, Atlanta beat Chicago, and San Francisco beat the Mets. Kaline homered in his 2000th major league game as Detroit beat the Indians with Kaline's 305th, one behind Hank Greenberg. The Twins saw their six game run end as Rod Carew was run down in a crucial moment. NHL playoffs yielded Montreal beating Chicago 9 2, St Louis 3 1 over Philadelphia, and Minnesota 9 Los Angeles 4. No games today. Saturday Chicago at Montreal. Sunday Minnesota at St Louis in the first game of a best of seven.
