For years, we've seen that popular color photograph of Mickey Mantle sliding into third with Brooks Robinson attempting a tag. While my picture was simply signed by the two Hall of Famers, I've seen others at shows, etc. with the fun inscriptions "He's Out," and "Safe!"
The other day, I was on eBay and noted for sale a wire photo that looked familiar. As it turns out, this B&W picture was taken immediately after the other one and as it turns out, Mantle was indeed safe (front end of a double steal no less) and later scored on a Joe Pepitone base hit...
Mystery Solved!
