1951 Incredible action photograph of Yankee rookie Mickey Mantle as he leaps into the seats at Yankee Stadium to try and rob a home run during the crucial pennant race at the end of the season. An exceptional image in great shape, this is reminiscent of his 1956 Topps action shot on his baseball card! Issued by the Associated Press and with a long paper caption on the back that details the action, this is among the finest action shots of Mantle from his rookie year we have ever seen. Encapsulated by PSA as a Type 1, the photo presents well with note to a light crease on the lower left being the only flaw. A Hall of Fame worthy piece of baseball photography!
