1951 Iconic image of young Mickey Mantle in uniform and participating in spring training with the Yankees. Our research indicates this photo was taken on March 22, 1951. The newspaper editor who wrote the caption got the location wrong. It is a known 1951 image but is absolutely a 1951 image. A tremendous image in fine condition overall, this is one of his best rookie photos and it presents well with exceptional quality for a wire photo.
