Mickey Mantle Debut Rare Ticket

Mickey Mantle Debut Rare Ticket

From this future National Holiday of April 17, 1951. That was the day Mickey Mantle came up for the first time ever with the New York Yankees and stroked a single for his first hit. The right fielder that day, #6 batted in front of the soon-retiring legend, a grumpy Joe DiMaggio, as his soon-to-be heir apparent in center field. Mantle would go on to get 2,415 of those hits and become a pop culture icon. Perhaps only Babe Ruth and Jackie Robinson transcended the sport such as he. Not even Joe D. And Mickey didn't have to marry Marilyn Monroe, only Merlyn. He would become a national hero during not just his incredible baseball career but also in the courageous waning days of his late sober life. As one of the greatest players ever, "There goes the finest switch hitter who ever lived," he smashed 536 home runs, set the World Series home run record (18), won a slew of awards and became immortal in the meantime. Not bad for a kid from Commerce, Oklahoma. Only a few of these Opening Day 1951 tickets have ever been sold. Slabbed PSA "Authentic," this seemingly innocuous Mezzanine ticket stub laid witness to real, Mickey Mantle-style, his-to-ry.
