Before Barry Bonds, Mark McGwire, and Sammy Sosa, Roger Maris held the record for the most home runs in one season. Just behind Maris was Babe Ruth. The numbers of home runs hit by these two athletes in their record-breaking seasons form consecutive integers. Combined, the two athletes hit 121 home runs. Determine the number of home runs hit by Maris and Ruth in their record-breaking seasons.
We want the sum of 2 consecutive integers equals 121.
We get Maris at 61 and Ruth at 60
