“The game’s most popular player in the 1950s and greatest switch-hitter in baseball history” (Smith, 633), Mickey Mantle served the Yankee organization after his playing-days as first-base coach and hitting instructor. He played in several Old-Timer’s Games from the late 1970s into the 80s. This dugout photograph, in Yankee pinstripes with bat in hand, appears to be taken at one of those games.
