A Yankee Stadium™ First - June 21, 1955

In the opening inning of a 6-2 victory over Kansas City, Mickey hit a ball where no one — not even Ruth or Gehrig — had socked one before in the 32-year history of Yankee Stadium.  Batting right-handed against lefty Alex Kellner, Mantle belted a change-up an estimated 486 feet on the fly over the 30-foot-high bleacher fence in straightaway center.

Anyone else getting tired of all these Mickey Mantle cards Topps is putting out?  I must have more cards of Mickey Mantle than any other player!
