Mickey Charles Mantle (October 20, 1931 – August 13, 1995), like his predecessor in the New York Yankees centerfield, Joe DiMaggio, became one of the most popular figures in sports history both during and after his playing career. When a Yankees scout came to see one of Mantle’s teammate’s Mickey hit three home runs in the game and wowed fans and the scout alike. The New York Yankees signed Mickey a year later after his high school graduation and assigned him to the minor leagues. Mantle’s meteoric rise through the ranks of the New York farm system compounded by the press’ coverage of the young phenom who the dubbed to become the “next” Yankees star. He was originally assigned the number “6” to follow Babe Ruth’s #3, Lou Gehrig’s #4 and teammate Joe DiMaggio’s #5. And, to add to the extraordinary pressure, DiMaggio announced his retirement at the conclusion of the 1951 season, Mickey’s rookie campaign.
