They are very young (5 and 4), so they just love the blue color of the card, Mickey's name (Mickey Mantle was actually my son's first word; he called him "Mee-Ma"), and they know he was great at hitting homeruns, as I've shown them old clips and Home Run Derby episodes. So it's an aesthetic thing because of the color and of course it's also about the image being something they see their father adores, so they in turn gravitate towards it. In time as they hopefully like watching games with me, I'll tell them all about the greats of the game, Mick included.
