Mickey Mantle Tops Fame With Uncanny Swing At Teems Breakneck Speed
Yankee rookie Mickey Mantle draws praise in the clubhouse as a natural hitter who batters all pitches with a repeat swing. Teammates note his rare speed and power, his left and right handed stance, and his potential to jump from Class C to Yankee Stadium in right field under Casey Stengel’s guidance. Mantle’s brothers Roy and Ray are said to rival him at the same age. Stengel quips Mantle will make pitchers sick with long-ball futters once he warms up.
