The next
superstar who gets a custom "Icons" card in my future custom set is the
"Commerce Comet" Mickey Mantle, New York Yankees legend, making for a
fun "artsy" set based on home field background art from the Golden Era
of baseball:
As I have stated before here on the blog, Mantle is one of those guys I really don't think we need to get
into as far as his tenure on the baseball diamond. It'd be kind
of a joke to start writing about his career since it would take up
a book's worth.
But alas, 500+ homers, a bushel of World Championships, three Most
Valuable Player Awards, and the hearts of more fans than we can even
imagine to this day.
"The Mick" in all his glory, enshrined in his rightful place in
Cooperstown, along with his longtime buddy Whitey Ford in the same HOF
class.
One of the great icons of the sport over its 150+ year history.
Not too bad a Hollywood script...
I just wished I would have gotten to see him play!
Keep an eye out for this set when I release it!
