Mickey Mantle 1953 Baseball’s All-Star Magazine Cover
Description
A color slide of the cover of the 1953 edition of Baseball's All-Stars magazine cover. The cover shows Mickey Mantle full-length in a New York Yankees road uniform, following through on a left-handed swing while in the batter's box. The blurred background shows people in a dugout and fans in the stands. A caption beside Mantle's face reads, "Mickey Mantle Explodes". Three smaller photographs are arranged vertically on the left side of the image. They are, from top to bottom: Jackie Robinson posed in a batting stance wearing a Brooklyn Dodgers uniform; a portrait of Stan Musial wearing a St. Louis Cardinals uniform; and a posed-in-action portrait of Ferris Fain wearing a Chicago White Sox home uniform.
