Mickey Mantle
1951 - 1968
2401 games, 536 home runs, .298 batting
average
The most powerful switch hitter of all time,
Mantle is regarded as one of baseball's greatest players. His long
home runs are legendary: one travelling out of Tiger Stadium an
estimated 643 feet and another hit an estimated 565 feet out of
Griffith Stadium. Playing for the Yankees during their longest dynasty
years, Mantle set a number of World Series career records: home
runs (18), runs scored (42), and runs-batted-in (40). |
