WOW. The condition on this 62 year old program is amazing. It has white pages, a solidly intact cover and scorecard and 3 sharp corners. Only the slightest crinkle in the bottom right pages detracts from mint condition. We have pinpointed this program to the 4th home game of Mickey Mantle's career based on the scorecard vs the Athletics, and the starting pitcher RASCHI and Mantle in UNIFORM #6 BATTING LEAD-OFF. Mantle went 3-5 that day with a run scored and played Right Field. A remarkable memento from his rookie season, and likely the best condition program from that rookie year you will ever find. PS: Some guy name DiMaggio batted cleanup and played center field.
