While pinstripes and repetitive October laurels have been a common bond among Bronx performers, each seems to have a definitive accomplishment unique to the endeavors of the winningest franchise in sports. To wit: A Baltimore-born truant was the mythical figure who put the team on the map as the most dominant team in competitive sports as he all but “invented” the home run. A “can’t-miss” Pacific Coast League product kept the championship rings coming, authoring an unfathomable hitting streak along the way. And then there was the muscular phenom from rural Oklahoma. The idol of millions (young, old, male, female), the handsome switch-hitter belied his boyish grin as he terrorized World Series opponents for a Fall Classic record 18 home runs.Simultaneously the pillar to any Mickey Mantle, 500 Home Run Club, World Series or ticket collection, this complete run of PSA graded World Series ticket stubs from all (16) games in which Mantle launched home runs is the end-all for hobbyists with a penchant for any of the above-mentioned fields.
