Mantle Sees Big Year For Yankees In 1956
New York star Mickey Mantle, now the second highest paid Yankee, believes the AL champions can repeat in 1956 if young pitchers like Sturdivant Wiesler and Gunn improve. Mantle, fully recovered from a thigh injury, said he plans to train in Florida early and aims to reduce strikeouts after batting .306 with 97 RBIs and leading the league with 37 home runs last season. He recently signed for a salary that rose by 5000 from 1955.
