1952 Topps Mickey Mantle Rookie Card #311

Mickey Mantle was called up to the majors on April 7, 1951, to play right field, wearing #6 on his uniform; by June, manager Casey Stengel, speaking to SPORT magazine, stated "He's got more natural power from both sides than anybody I ever saw." Joe DiMaggio, in his final season, called Mantle, "the greatest prospect I can remember." He would also serve as a utility infielder from 1952 to '55.

After a short slump, Mantle was sent down to the Yankees' top farm team, the Kansas City Blues. But he wasn't able to find the power he'd had in the lower minors. He called his father one day and told him, "I don't think I can play baseball anymore." But then Mantle immediately broke out of his slump, going on to hit .361 with 11 homers and 50 RBIs during his stay in Kansas City. After 40 games, he was called back to New York for good.

In his first World Series game, October 4, 1951, the Yankees faced the Giants for what was Willie Mays' first World Series game as well.
