Mickey Mantle Day, 45 Years Ago

Mickey Mantle showed up for spring training in 1969 and realized he couldn’t play another season. At 37, the Mick realized he was too old: “I can’t play anymore. I don’t hit the ball when I need to. I can’t steal when I need to. I can’t score from second base when I need to. I have to quit.”

On June 8, the Yankees held Mickey Mantle Day at Yankee Stadium.
