Mantle Impresses In Debut As Yankees First Baseman
The Great Experiment Part marks an unqualified success for the Yankees with Mickey Mantle at first base in a 7 three win over Washington. Mantle made nine plays flawlessly including a highlight intercepting a ball between first and second. He said he was more nervous at bat than in the field. Chet Trail hit a two run homer in the ninth to decide the game. Pete Rose will join the Reds in left field as he shifts positions under manager Dave Bristol. Ted Davidson was shot in Tampa and listed in fair condition. Juan Marichal and Camilo Pascual remained in contract talks with their clubs as spring training proceeds.
