Mickey Mantle 1965 Whitestone Baseball Annual Cover


Description

A color slide of the cover of the Whitestone 1965 Baseball annual featuring a full-length photograph of Mickey Mantle, seen hitting against the Cleveland Indians. Mantle is in the right-handed batter's box, swinging his baseball bat over home plate as he makes contact with the baseball. He is in profile with his back and right side visible. He is wearing a New York Yankees home uniform. An unknown Indian catcher is squatting in the foreground, and an unknown third baseman is in the blurry background. An article headline in the middle of the cover reads, "Big Leaguers Tell You: How to Play Better Baseball" and three more at the bottom of the cover read, "By Jim Bouton - Inside the Yankee. Clubhouse", "A Surprise Preview of All the Teams", and "The Players Brawls That Can Wreck the Game."
