I don't know if people are being facetious or if they are just pathetic contrarians or whatever. A couple of people (I'm sure the same folks who think every single skinny white guy in an old photograph is Joe Jackson) PM'ed me to say those Micks are not even close to being from the same day. Really????? My gawd!! Wake up.

So here we go again. I took the same two cards and (although they are clearly not taken from the same angle) I matched up as best I could the curved pinstripes emanating down from his belt buckle (and hitting the bottom border between the 'M' and 'A' in "MANTLE' on the 1966 card). So stare there as the image fades away and you'll see how everything matches. CLEAR AS FREAKING DAY, the wrinkles, lines, shirt draped over his belt, etc., etc., are virtually one and the same.



I'm done staring at Mickey's crotch, so if this doesn't convince you nothing ever will. Elm out!

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.
