Mantle Shot ?
John---I like that card and I have it in my set. I grew up in St Louis and had the good fortune of attending game one at age 14. Game 3 was in NY and the Cardinal pitcher off whom Mantle homered was Barney Schultz. I have always felt that the picture on that card in fact shows Mantle swinging and missing a Gibson fast ball.

Al...first off...what a series and game to go to...WOW.
I just read the "Last Boy" Mantle book and she did a great job describing that HR. Definitely a high light of the book. And I think you are 100% right...here is a photo this card obviously comes from and this is Gibson blowing one past him..TOO FUNNY. Thanks for that! Great observation...

I've always loved this one because of the sheer irony of there being absolutely no action going on in an "in action" card
