New York Yankees Flashback: Mickey Mantle Times Two

Two days (May 15 and 16) of Mickey Mantle exploits. The New York Yankees won the first game of a twin bill, 8-4, vs. the A’s on May 15, 1955, thanks to Irv Noren‘s inside-the-park grand slam. The New Yorkers had to settle for a split after losing the other contest, 4-3, even though Mickey went 4-for-9 on the day.

Then on May 15, 1963, No. 7 brought his team from behind against Pedro Ramos of the Twins. Trailing 3-0, Mickey Mantle got the Yanks going with a two-run homer. Later, he scored the winning run as the Yanks prevailed, 4-3.
