New York Yankees Program from Mickey Mantle’s Rookie Season.
Lot 256. New York Yankees Program from Mickey Mantle’s Rookie Season. Mantle began the 1951 season in New York, but difficulty in hitting major league pitching resulted in a 40-game demotion to the Yankees’ Kansas City farm team. This program for a St. Louis Browns game apparently is from that period. In the pre-printed lineup, #7 is assigned to Bob Cerv. Meanwhile, Cliff Mapes is with the Browns; he was claimed by the St. Louis team July 31. Satchel Paige is on the Browns’ roster. Joe DiMaggio is the only Hall of Famer in the pre-printed starting lineup for the Yankees: Yogi Berra, Phil Rizzuto and Johnny Mize were on the bench. Ex program with the center folio loose.
Winning Bid $45.
