If you're mad about Mickey, you'll be doubly pleased to see this rare package of two "Mickey Mantle Day" tickets and programs commemorating the Yankees legend. The 1965 set is far rarer as "The Mick" played in his 2,000th career game on September 18 of that year, a feat only surpassed by fellow Hall of Famers Ruth, Gehrig and Berra. The inside features career stats and photos while the back page reveals the day's itinerary and includes a tribute from Ballantine Beer. The June 8, 1969, program bills itself as "A Day to Remember" and features Mantle's famous #7. This occasion - celebrating the career of the retiring icon - was distinguished by a nine-minute ovation prior to Mantle's pregame speech. The lot also includes a 45 record with the same title and picture jacket with photos of the event. The 1969 program has pinholes but otherwise is in EX-MT condition.
