Price Realized: $2,969.55
Auction Date:5/3/2007 9:00 PM EST

Framed replica of 1951 New York Yankee road flannel that Mickey Mantle wore during his rookie season is a fine Mitchell & Ness version, with shield patch on left shoulder that reads, “American League 1901-1951 Golden Anniversary,” and a Cooperstown tag on bottom left front. It was a changing of the guard in ’51, with retiring Joe DiMaggio handing off his center fielding position (and idol status) to the fledgling Mantle, who signs in 9/10 blue Sharpie on the left portion of the chest. Measures 39 ¼ x 38 ¼”.
