Mickey Mantle and Joe Soares Examine X-Ray of Mantle’s Broken Left Foot
Description
A slide of a black-and-white photograph of Mickey Mantle (center) lying down on a hospital gurney, feet closest to the camera, wearing a New York Yankee road jersey. Mantle has a blanket on his upper legs, and sticking out of the blanket is his bare left leg and right leg wearing athletic socks and a baseball stirrup. He has his hands behind his head and is looking to his right, as are the two people standing next to him: a Union Memorial hospital technician to his right and Yankee trainer Joe Soares to his left. Soares is wearing a Yankees warm-up jacket. The picture has a caption attached to it which reads "(BA3) BALTIMORE, June 5 -- MANTLE OUT AGAIN -- New York Yankee outfielder Mickey Mantle and Yankee trainer Joe Soares examine an x-ray of Mantle's foot with a hospital technician tonight after Mantle broke a small bone in his left foot during a game between the Yankees and the Baltimore Orioles. Mantle smashed into the wall of the outfield in the 6th inning of tonight's game in a vain attempt to catch a home run hit by Oriole Brooks Robinson. Soares said Mantle might be out two to three weeks with the injury. (AP WIREPHOTO) (jaw42355atf-jb) 1963." Information written on the physical slide reads "mantle Injured."
