Here it is. The horrifying moment when Mickey Mantle injured his knee in the 1951 World Series is caught by this original three-shot sequence snapped by an Associated Press staffer with verso stamp. The entire sequence has rarely been seen and lends a Zapruder film-like context to the play, which happened in the 5th inning of game two when Willie Mays lifted a fly to right-center. Mantle, called off by Joe DiMaggio, caught a spike on a drain and ripped his knee to shreds. The first shots show Mantle buckling, then rolling over in agony as DiMaggio grabs the ball. 8 x10 image has some light creasing o/w NRMT.
