In this classic 8x10-inch black-and-white photograph, Mickey Mantle kneels gracefully on one knee in the spring training dirt, his powerful hands resting on his bat as he gazes intently toward the distance. The image captures the young Mick at the height of his athletic grace ? broad shoulders, crew cut, and that unmistakable combination of boyish charm and raw power that made him an American icon. Boldly signed in blue Sharpie across his image. LOA from Beckett Authentic.
