Thanks horzverti - I just love the dynamics of that swing by the 19 year old phenom showing in his first base hit (a single) in his first game in the major leagues.
Here is another super image that I picked up in Henry's auction. A dynamite Type 1 portrait of The Mick taken during his favorite summer, 1956. Crystal clear with that engaging Mantle smile - just a perfect image. The mark on Mickey's forehead is part of the photo and unfortunately also part of Mickey's forehead - a scar just beginning to heal.
