Mickey Mantle hit 536 home runs in an 18-year career. The first of those home runs was hit on May 1, 1951, off Chicago White Sox pitcher Randy Gumpert, while Mantle’s final home run came off Jim Lonborg on September 20, 1968. This multi-signed baseball, signed by Mantle in blue pen on the sweet spot, also includes the signatures of both Gumpert and Lonborg. Randy Gumpert has signed the panel above Mantle’s signature, and included the inscription “5-1-51”, while Lonborg has signed the panel below Mantle, and inscribed “#536 9-20-68”. The ball comes in a baseball holder with a gold base, and is accompanied by an LOA from PSA/DNA.
