PSA 10 1951 Bowman Mantle Sold

Posted By: Jim VB

I'm an objective Yankee fan, albeit a couple of years younger than Ted (not too many).

Saying Mantle was the 3rd best centerfielder in NY is ridiculous. (Even as a kid, I thought he was 2nd though. Mays was damn good.) Snider, as good as he was, wasn't close to either of them. Or did you mean Richie Ashburn when he played for the Mets in 1962?

By the way, Mantle also won three MVP's, not one.

He had a 10 year stretch (1955-1964) where he had 3 firsts, 3 seconds and 2 fifth place MVP finishes. Equally as impressive as Yogi's stretch.

Had he not played most of his career with terrible knees, he might have been the greatest ever... (except, as I said... that Mays guy was pretty good.)
