Mickey Mantle, with Bandaged Foot, Exits Airplane


Description

A slide of a black-and-white photograph of Mickey Mantle, with a heavily bandaged left foot, exits a small aircraft. Mantle sits in profile on the edge of the airplane door with his right foot on a raised platform. Two men are helping him, an unknown man inside the plane who looks like a pilot, and Whitey Ford, standing next to the platform. Ford is wearing a suit and has his back toward the camera. Information written on the physical slide reads "Injured 1963".
