Ebay FA: 1962 Mickey Mantle's Greatest Game?
August 19, 1962 was quite a day for Mickey and the Yankees in Kansas City. I've listed the program for that game on ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=330469695907
For Mantle: 7 RBIs, career HR #398 (the 7th of 9 grand slams in his career), a double, a single and 2 stolen bases...and he was pulled in the sixth inning!
For Elston Howard: 8 RBIs, 2 3-run HRs, a triple and a single.
For the Yankees: a 21-7 victory, second highest run total in the Mantle era.
For the Athletics: 3 consecutive home runs to lead off an inning (AL record)!
