Pretty cool picture - all sorts of things wrong with this:
1) Mantle playing 2nd base
2) HOF pitcher Bob Lemon nearly getting picked off on the basepaths (though of course pitchers batted then, and Lemon was one of the best batting pitchers ever, high on home run list for pitchers, pinch-hitting a number of times etc.)
Any one know what year this was? Tried a bit to find it, wasn't 1951
