MICKEY MANTLE TRIVIA CONTEST....WE HAVE A WINNER!

Guru

Okay, I've not done a contest yet, but I was going through some of my stuff today and found some Mantle cards I could easily give away. So, just a heads up they are all modern. Nothing vintage here. But some free cards. So, who would say no. I'm heading to bed, but I'll leave you with these questions. Whomever can answer them correctly first I'll give some cards to. I'm trying to get rid of somethings and thought this would be fun. I'll also have a bonus question too. If you answer all five questions correct, you'll get some Mantle cards. BUT, if you answer all five correct and the bonus correct I'll throw one more card in with it. But, the bonus is only good for the first person to answer all questions correctly. Make sense? Okay, here we go...

1. It what year did Mantle win the Triple Crown?

2. What was the name of the scout that signed Mantle to his first big leauge contract?

3. Who was Mantle named in honor of?

4. In Joplin, MO there was a hotel that Mantle attached his name to. What was the name of that hotel?

5. Mantle didn't think he would live past the age of 40 because this disease was so prevolent in his family?

BONUS!!!!

Now that you answered all five, here's your chance to win one more card...

BONUS QUESTION: How many classifications had Mantle jumped between 1950 and joining the Yankee's in '51?

There you have it! The first to answer them wins! Best of luck!
