The day was June 8, 1969, and it was the Mickey Mantle Day in which the Yankee great retired his # 7 at Yankee Stadium, and these two cool b&w 8x10's of Mr. Mantle holding his famed # 7 are a reminder of the honor bestowed upon "The Mick." These photos are seemingly intimate, with Mickey Mantle standing, uniform in hand, his tie unknotted and dangling.
