Before he was a Yankees legend. Before he was “The Mick.” And literally, before he was number 7. He was simply Mickey Mantle, taking the field for the first time as a New York Yankee in Yankee Stadium on April 17, 1951. This official program and score card is from the first day Mantle donned the pinstripes. The front of this program and sports card commemorates the 50th anniversary of the American League with the logos of the Indians, Tigers, A’s, Browns, Nationals, Red Sox and White Sox surrounding the larger signature Yankees logo. The words Yankee Stadium in white and 1951 in Red appear at the front. Inside the program book contains a completed Score Card of the game that day against the Red Sox. Program book was published by Harry M Stevens, Inc, 320 Fifth Avenue, New York. The price of this program and score card in 1951 was 10 cents.
