Mantle hits the facade at Yankee Stadium - Ticket and Scorecard

[bigtrain]

I remember that we only stayed because we wanted
to see Mickey get up again. I remember people talking
about it but I really don't remember seeing the flight
of the ball. It was hit so hard and got there so fast.
There were a lot of wows. There couldn't have been more
than a few thousand fans by the end of the game.

incredible pairing! I feel like my dad claims to have been at the game where mantle hit the facade ...i guess if he is right it could have been 1 of 2 occasions.

These are really great. If you really want to add to this impressive collection, may I suggest locating a New York newspaper with details about this game. I remember reading about the home run in a magazine shortly after it happened. Maybe it was Sport, not sure. I do remember it had a photo of Yankee Stadium showing the tragectory of the homer. That would also be a nice addition. You already have the two tough pieces. The Mick was my idol as a boy.
