Larsen and Mantle Press for Bigger Yankees Pay
Don Larsen and Mickey Mantle, stars of the Yankees, seek significantly higher salaries after their 1956 performances. Larsen, who pitched a perfect World Series game, has returned his contract and wants about 7,500 more than offered, while Mantle aims to at least double his last year's roughly 35,000. The Yankees also extended contracts to Billy Hunter and Jerry Lumpe as other clubs keep lining up players.
