Nice scorecard Wheaties…it makes me curious now what number Mantle might have worn on that call up as I see Bobby Brown still listed at #6 and playing in the game. I wouldn’t think they’d have taken Brown’s number 6 away for the 1950 call up when Mantle didn’t even play? Or, perhaps they didn’t have numbers on their road jersey’s so it really didn’t matter?
Oddly enough, that’s not a subject I had ever considered but you’re right; clearly #6 would have been out. I wonder if they just gave them all high numbers or numberless jerseys, as I know Mickey wasn’t only one called up and I’m pretty sure none of the call ups played as they were in a pennant race in that September of 1950.
Based on his autobiography and accounts of the day, I know it was a double header, that he hid in the clubhouse most of the time, though he did watch Scooter take pre game warm ups and then play short only to realize his own days as a shortstop were over and that he was eventually coaxed onto the field for BP before the second game. While Mickey himself didn’t remember much other than swinging really hard and quickly departing the field, it is said that he put on quite a power display that left most of the veterans on both teams agape at the sound of the crack of the bat: a harbinger of what was yet to come…
