Mantle-1956
With the arrival of Opening Day already upon us, I take you back to 1939 as the Yankee Clipper graced the cover of Life magazine, and 1956 for Life's cover of Mickey Mantle. These Center Fielders were in their near prime perfect years, Joe D. posted mind-blowing stats of: .381 average, .448 OBP, .671 Slugging, and 1.119 OPS. Mickey won the Triple Crown in 1956 with .353 Avg, 52 HR, and 130 RBI. From my Dad's magazine collection.
