Mantle Kin Signs with Cards in Tulsa
Blake King, 19, the great nephew of Mickey Mantle, signed a minor league contract with the St. Louis Cardinals in Tulsa. The right handed pitcher led junior college pitchers in strikeouts as a freshman and will report to the club’s rookie ball affiliate in State College Pennsylvania or Johnson City Tennessee to refine pitches and develop a changeup under agent Rob Martin’s praise. King's grandfather Roy Mantle was Mickey Mantle's brother, linking the new Card to baseball royalty.
