Graig - don't want to hog this thread but I thought you, in particular, would appreciate this other slide that I got in Henry's auction. In the write-up, Henry refers to Newman's description of this one as - the "Ruthian" image of Mickey "as the left-handed follow through of Mantle's mighty swing in this shot resembled how Babe Ruth would have appeared, cork-screwing himself into the ground from the tremendous torque generated." For me, it's a wonder that Mickey's right ankle survived!!
