1947-66 Exhibits, Mickey Mantle Batting, Pinstripes ⭐
On May 16, 1951, The "Mick" debuted at Yankee Stadium in style!
The 19-year-old switch hitter drove in four runs and scored three to help the Yankees rout the Cleveland Indians, 11–3. It was the first of his 266 career HRs at Yankee Stadium.
This is one of my very favorite images of Mickey Mantle.
