One of the greatest talents in baseball history, Mickey Mantle's stellar career with the New York Yankees made him a legend, following in the footsteps of centerfield predecessor Joe DiMaggio. His 536 home runs put him among the career leaders. His Yankee teams won World Series in 1951, 1952, 1953, 1956, 1958, 1961 and 1962. Mickey Mantle was elected to the Hall Of Fame in 1974.
