Home Run Derby Vol. 1:
Home Run Derby - Volume 1 Any boy growing up in the late 1950s and early 60s and who was a true baseball fanatic lived and died on the performances of their baseball heroes: Willie Mays, Hank Aaron, Ernie Banks and Mickey Mantle.

How About That?:

It's sure worth a look and for any baseball enthusiast it's a nice addition to your collection.
