From 1951 to 1968 "The Mick" patrolled center field with an unprecedented grace that left all privileged enough to see him play with memories to last a lifetime. Mickey Mantle was a star from the start, parlaying a talent for the game and boyish good looks into iconic status. Mantle was noted for his hitting ability, both for average and for power. On September 10, 1960, he hit a ball left-handed that cleared the right-field roof at Tiger Stadium in Detroit and, based on where it was found, was estimated years later by historian Mark Gallagher to have traveled 643 feet. Mantle accumulated a long list of impressive accomplishments finishing his 18-year career with 536 home runs, three MVP Awards (1956, '57, '62), and a Triple Crown (1956). Mantle contributed to 12 pennants and seven World Series titles in his first 14 seasons while establishing numerous World Series records, including most home runs (18).
