On this day in 1969, the Yankees retired Mickey Mantle's #7. The Mick, a career member of the Yankees, would hit .298, with 536 home runs, 1,509 RBI's, and a .421 OBP. Always a fan-favorite, Mantle would go on to become a first ballot Hall of Famer in 1974, and a fixture at many events held at Yankee Stadium until his death in 1995. #TheMick #TheCommerceComet
