Thank you for sharing. This is something my friends and I figured out as kids back in the early 70s. We could plainly see the pitcher was Bob Gibson and that it sure looked like the catcher was catching the ball as opposed to Mantle blasting a home run. Even Mantle's swing looks more like a swing and miss than crushing a home run. We used to laugh about it as evidence Topps didn't always do their best. | ||
A friend discovered an "error" on Topps 1965, #134 "Mantle's Clutch HR". It is supposed to be a photo of Mantle hitting a walk-off HR off Barney Schultz in game 3 of the 64 WS, however there are several clues in the card photo that reveal it is not that moment, nor even game 3. Game 3 was at Yankee Stadium and the Cardinal pitchers were Curt Simmons and Schultz. Of note:
