Mickey Mantle Surrounded by Fans As He Rounds Third After Game Winning Home Run


Description

A slide of a black-and-white photograph of Mickey Mantle, seen rounding third base amidst a group of fans who have run onto the field. The photograph is from a slightly elevated position around the first base dugout area. Mantle hit a game-winning home run in the tenth inning against the Chicago White Sox. Mantle is shown full-length, in foul territory, with his left foot on the ground. He is wearing a New York Yankees home uniform. He is in the center of the picture, with young fans on all sides of him, standing, running, and reaching out to touch him. In the top right of the photograph is umpire John Flaherty in a suit, white shirt, tie, and cap, watching the proceedings. Also visible are two Yankee Stadium ushers in a uniform of slacks, usher jackets, white shirts, and bowties. One is at the middle top of the picture, in a frontal view, walking towards third base. The other, who has his back to the camera, is standing in foul territory to Mantle's right and slightly in front of him, apparently trying to clear a path to home plate. The field with part of the third base foul line is in the picture's foreground. In the background is the foul territory just behind third base, the bottom of the short fence of the stands, and several pairs of legs on the field and climbing over the fence.
