Mickey Mantle Holding Up 1962 Contract
Description
A slide of a black-and-white photograph of Mickey Mantle waving a blank American League contract that he had just ceremonially signed. Mantle is smiling in a business suit and tie and is visible from the waist up with his arms in the air. In his left hand is the contract, and in his right is a pen. The background is a wall with a wall sconce. The photograph is from a press conference announcing that Mantle had come to terms for the 1962 season.
