Mickey Mantle Batting
Description
Slide of a black-and-white, full-length photograph of Mickey Mantle hitting left-handed in a game at Yankee Stadium. The photograph is from behind home plate, looking down the first base foul line. Mantle is in mid-swing with his baseball bat pointing toward the pitcher's mound, making his jersey number 7 on his back and left side visible. The batted baseball is seen on the left side of the photograph. An unknown catcher and umpire are crouching behind home plate. Another umpire is behind first base with his hands on his knees. The background shows fans in the grandstand and bunting on the railing, indicating that this may be a World Series game or Opening day.
