Popular to begin with, Bronx sluggers Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris instantly became ideal marketing spokespersons by virtue of their dual assault on the single-season home run record. Produced in 1962 by “Stellar,” this AM radio is among the coveted survivors from an era in which it was the chief source for live baseball feeds. Measuring 7-1/8 x 5-1/4 x 3-3/4”-deep, the wooden keepsake features a plastic facing on which Maris’ and Mantle’s facsimile signatures accompany a bat-shaped dial and green diamond “on-off” switch. With the electric cord intact, this one works!
