Mickey Mantle

Mickey Charles Mantle (October 20, 1931 – August 13, 1995), best known as “The Mick” and “The Commerce Comet”, was an American baseball player who was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1974.  He played his storied 18-year major-league professional career all for the New York Yankees, winning 3 American League MVP awards and playing in 16 All-Star games.  Mantle played on 12 pennant winners and 7 World Championship clubs.  He still holds the records for most World Series home runs, (18), RBIs (40), runs (42), walks (43), extra base hits (26), and total bases (123).  He is also the career leader in walk-off homeruns, with a combined 13 in regular season and postseason play (12 regular, 1 postseason).  In 1956,  Mantle won the first of his three MVP awards and also won the Triple Crown, leading the majors with a .353 batting average, 53 home runs, and 130 RBIs.   Mantle remains the last man to win the Major League Triple Crown by leading both leagues in all three categories. He is also the last player to win a single league Triple Crown as a switch hitter.
