It is the only known recording of Roger Maris' four at bats as aired on this WPIX Channel 11 television broadcast. A recording of this air check was given to Andy Strasberg who contacted me, while researching material for a book he was writing.

In his finished book "MY 1961," published by August Publications in 2021, the transcript of this peerless audio is greatly quoted verbatim by author Andy Strasberg on pages 257 through 270.
