The Mickey Mantle Day held in Yankee Stadium in 1969 wasn’t the first of its kind. The first one was in September 1965, at Yankee Stadium, and I was there.
Below is a page from the official program from the REAL one at Yankee Stadium, not the hokey one they repeated after he retired.
I will be signing my book (and selling my historic Yankee Stadium photos), Yankee Stadium: The Final Game, this weekend at the Winter Extravagana sports card and memorabilia show. It’s in White Plains January 16, and 17. Don Mattingly will be there. Look for my booth; it’s Veridico Publishing. See you there!
Historic images of Yankee Stadium to be posted here soon. Check back.
