On May 16, 1951 the New York Yankees trounced the Cleveland Indians and their ace Bob Lemon 11-3. In this game, Mickey Mantle, batted third and wore his original No. 6. He hit his first career home run at Yankee Stadium on that day. He banged out a homer and single, driving in four runs, which at that time was leading the American League in Runs Batted In with 26. This 20 page un-scored program is in excellent to mint condition except the middle page, where the pre-printed names (and pencil lineup change notations) are located. Joe DiMaggio also had two hits.
