Al Kaline and Mickey Mantle


Description

A slide of a black-and-white photograph of Al Kaline (left) and Mickey Mantle (right) standing in front of what appears to be a batting cage. Kaline is wearing a Detroit Tigers home uniform, in profile, his body turned toward Mantle, with his right hand on his hip. Mantle is wearing a New York Yankees road uniform and a baseball glove. His body faces the camera, and in his right hand, he holds a baseball that he and Kaline are looking at.
