I didn't know Jimmy, but I like the idea of bumping some of his past threads in his honor. Good call Ben.
The 1947 Whiz Kids, featuring a 16-year-old Mickey Mantle on his first pro team (semi-pro). This is an original photo that was given to the players. It was owned by Guy Crow, the batboy, who is sitting on the left end of the right bench. There are a few signatures in addition to Mantle's, but they are hard to make out.
