Not sure who's who, other than Mantle and my Uncle of course, (who is the furthest away from Mantle) but just dug this out after remembering my Father giving me this many yrs ago.

1958 World Series. My Uncle loved Baseball and especially Mickey Mantle. :)

Was trying to figure out if that Norm guy was a ball player or just an acquaintance/friend of my Uncle Sam, but since I couldn't find anything, I assume he is exactly that, a friend.

Dizzy Trout is for sure the guy in the glasses, and from what I have researched, he was no longer pitching in 1958?

Found this vid of a game dated Oct 8th/58. Some really great ball players played in this series.

October 8, 1958 the Milwaukee Braves took on the New York Yankees in game six of the World Series. My father (John Floyd Frakes) got his hands on tickets and a press pass. He worked in consumer finance and is not a professional photographer. The footage is from our home 8mm movie camera. The film includes footage of Yankees greats Mickey Mantel, White Ford, Yogi Berra, Hank Bauer, Elston Howard, Gil McDougal and Manager Casey Stengel. Milwaukee Braves include Warren Spahn, Hank Aaron, Eddie Mathews, Del Rice, Wes Covington, Del Crandal, Joe Adcock, Manager Fred Haney, Lew Burdette and more.
