1953 Photograph of young up and coming slugger Mickey Mantle who had been dubbed as the likely successor to Babe Ruth as he spends time in the apartment where Ruth had died 5 years earlier and chats with Mrs. Ruth. That is not just any bat that Mantle is holding, this was the one that babe used to belt his 700th home run! An important piece of baseball photography in great shape, this is a perfect 10/10 from the International News and stamped on the back. One of the better early images of mantle we have ever seen!
