Yankee slugger Mickey Mantle had his No. 7 retired on this day in history, June 8, 1969, before 61,000 fans in Yankee Stadium. He spent his entire 18-year baseball career with the New York Yankees.
The ceremony that day has been described as "emotional" in numerous reports. "Despite never quite being at 100%, Mantle established himself as and one of the game’s best players." "I can't hit when I need to. I can't go from first to third when I need to. There's no use trying." Mickey Mantle was named to 20 All-Star Games.

Earlier that year — on March 1, 1969, before the start of the '69 season — Mantle announced his retirement from professional baseball.
"I can't hit anymore," the 37-year-old Mantle said at a news conference at the Yankee Clipper Motel in a room overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, as George Vecsey of The New York Times noted of Mantle's retirement announcement.
