Fred YI have had that stub since I was 11 yrs old--Grew up the biggest Mickey Mantle fan in the world--have scrapbook w/ newspaper clippings from the early '50s w/ all kinds of Mantle pics from the papers & magazines, including the '51 WS ---and NEVER TO THIS DAY & your post did I realize or connect the stub to the Mantle drainpipe incident!
The stub was given to me by someone who went to the game & was tucked away for years in a cigar box w/ other little sports items I saved.
I CANNOT BELIEVE I never put 2 & 2 together on this one!
Thanks for your post!
