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.
"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. Maureen Mackey is managing editor of lifestyle for Fox News Digital.
