Product InformationThe taping session went into extra innings, but Mickey Mantle and Willie Mays still couldn't get to first base. Not as singers, not as sit-down comics, and certainly not as models. Looking quaint in dainty bonnets for a margarine commercial, the two ex-sluggers made like they were still on opposing teams in the World Series of 1951 and 1962, when Mickey was a Yankee and Willie a Giant. In between takes of the Blue Bonnet jingle, Mays needled Mantle: "You sing worse than I do." "You gotta be kidding," Mickey replied. "You call that singing what you do?" On-camera, Willie was best when he dug into the steak feast before him: "Man, this is good." Later he confessed, "I added those lines on my own. Hope they like 'em." Mickey Mantle was a star from the start, parlaying a talent for the game and boyish good looks into iconic status. In spite of a series of devastating injuries, Mantle accumulated a long list of impressive accomplishments, finishing his 18-year career with 536 home runs and a .298 batting average. The switch-hitting "Commerce Comet" won three MVP awards (1956, â€TM57, â€TM62) and a Triple Crown (1956). He contributed to 12 pennants and seven World Series titles in his first 14 seasons, while establishing numerous World Series records, including most home runs (18). Willie Mays, the "Say Hey Kid," played with enthusiasm and exuberance while excelling in all phases of the game - hitting for average and power, fielding, throwing and baserunning. His staggering career statistics include 3,283 hits and 660 home runs. The Giants' superstar earned National League Rookie of the Year honors in 1951 and two MVP awards. He accumulated 12 Gold Gloves, played in a record-tying 24 All-Star games and participated in four World Series. His catch of Vic Wertz's deep fly in the '54 Series remains one of baseball's most memorable moments. This piece has been beautifully framed using Suede Matting & Conservation Glass featuring TruGuard®, UV light protection. This item comes fully certified by James Spence Authentication and comes with a hollywood collectibles certificate of authenticity.SKU:HC*ABFR0315-JF29 |
