Description

A color slide of a 1964 Baseball Review magazine cover featuring a photograph of Mickey Mantle from the waist up. Mantle is wearing a New York Yankee home uniform and holding a baseball bat in front of him with two hands. The cover also includes four vertically-aligned black-and-white headshots of major league baseball players along the left border. The four players are identified (top-to-bottom), with the captions of their respective photographs as: "HARMON KILLEBREW: WILL HE EXPLODE THIS YEAR?"; "AL DOWNING: HE COULD BECOME ANOTHER KOUFAX"; "AL KALINE: CAN HE REGAIN HIS TOP FORM?", and "BILL WHITE: TRUMP CARD IN ST. LOUIS". The masthead reads: "BASEBALL REVIEW", and above it are text boxes that read "COMPLETE SPORTS", and "SPECIAL: MAGIC EYE PHOTOS OF BASEBALL’S BEST PITCHERS". Beneath the main photograph of Mantle there is a text box that reads "MICKEY MANTLE: HOW MUCH PAIN IN 1964?'
