After age caught up to him, Mickey Mantle was moved to first base, allowing youngster Bobby Murcer to get swallowed in centerfield. This 8” x 10” vintage wire photo shows Mickey reaching to snag an errant pickoff attempt, with Aaron getting back safely to first base. That is a lot of home runs standing at first base. Light warping along bottom edge, with a few light enamel cracks, but the image is perfect and showcases these two legends. Reverse has multiple editor grease pencil markings, part of the newspaper caption and is date stamped Mar 17 1967.
