Color transparency (2.5x2.25") capturing Mickey Mantle in mid-swing on the sideline prior to a game. While no other information is listed on the transparency, the ballpark is easily identified as Wrigley Field in Los Angeles, California, and the team name Angels is visible on the centerfield scorecard. The Angels played in Wrigley Field only during the club's inaugural season in 1961, which conclusively dates the image to that historic season. 1961 was the year in which Mantle and teammate Roger Maris waged a memorable season-long home run duel that culminated in Maris breaking Babe Ruth's longstanding single-season home run record on the final day of the season. Near Mint condition.
