Press pins were handed to members of the media by the host team and worn on the lapel for access to cover the games; they were not sold to the public. The design is a gold-tone cutout ring with alternating red and white enamel bands reading \"1961 · YANKEE STADIUM · WORLD SERIES · PRESS\", crossed gold bats, and a blue enamel Yankees cap with the interlocking NY at center. The back is stamped BALFOUR and has the original threaded post with round screw-back clutch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe 1961 season:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1961 was the year of the M\u0026amp;M Boys: Roger Maris hit his record 61 home runs and Mickey Mantle hit 54, and Whitey Ford won the World Series MVP.
