This would have to be mine.
Thinking back and thinking that my Uncle, who absolutely loved baseball, actually got to meet Mickey Mantle and get his picture taken with him, and Dizzy Trout, is something that is very special to me. Although we never got to know each other very well, (I was born in 64, he lived in Pontiac Mich and I am from Ont. Canada. (My Dad has dual citizenship) the stories I have heard about him make me think we would have got along great. I'll never sell this pic, and I have no idea if it is worth anything anyways, but the value it brings to me is something more than what money can buy.

Very cool. Is that your uncle, closest to the Mick? Any idea what game this was taken at? Or approximate date? Inquiring minds want to know.

I guess your uncle was a nice guy. He should've pushed Norm out of the freakin' way!! Ha ha. That is exceptionally cool that the photo was taken at a World Series game. A piece of history indeed. Yowza!!!!

Truthfully, I wasn't aware of the significance of the photo as I figured lots of personal photos like this likely exist out there, but reading what you stated, has me rethinking it, especially since it's a WS game with Mickey Mantle and a family member in the pic.
