Rare 1951 wire photo from Spring Training in Phoenix, Arizona showing Mickey Mantle, "The Rookie from Joplin" displaying his batting grip for Tommy Henrich. Dated March 9, this is one of the best images of a young Mantle we have ever owned! Crease on the lower right corner area is essentially the only flaw.
