Presented here is a 7 7/8 x 10-inch black and white photograph of Hall of Famers Mickey Mantle and Joe DiMaggio, taken by renowned photographer Don Wingfield circa 1957. Wingfield was the famed New York Yankee photographer, working for the Bronx Bombers as well as The Sporting News, the Washington Senators and the Topps Company. He also free-lanced work for national magazines such as LIFE and LOOK. His friendly nature and true professionalism endeared him to many players, who many years later would speak fondly of. This photograph shows both Mantle and DiMaggio decked out in their respective home Yankee pinstriped uniforms, with Mantle on the left holding a baseball bat and smiling with DiMaggio reaching over and also holding the bat, while balancing a fielder’s glove under his left arm and having a slight smile or smirk. Both greats are looking slightly off-camera to their right and background has the Yankee Stadium seats with a smattering of fans. The back of this photo has a “PHOTO BY DON WINGFIELD” stamp when he was based out of Alexandria, Virginia and other markings. There are pin holes on each corner, while the upper left corner has a slight tear, with the photo also displaying edge wear and other markings. This comes with a LOA from PSA/DNA (1P16135) and has been classified as a Type I photo.
