1960's Yankees + Bat Day Bat

I'd like to explore the do ability of assembling a set of Yankees players from the early bat day years at Yankee Stadium. My Father took my cousin and I to bat day when we were kids. As we went thru the line the man handing out the bats handed me a Bobby Richardson bat. I complained and I think I rememver my Dad say something like Hey Mac give my kid a Mantle bat to which the man then took the Richardson bat out of my hand and handed it to my cousin and handed me a Mickey Mantle bat!

Unfortunately with growing up and life in general the bat is long gone and I've thought about the possibility of putting the set of baseball cards together along with purchasing a Mickey Mantle bat from bat day. I can almost remember the complete starting line up which will hopefully help with figuring out which year. Some other things that may help too as we walked all around the stadium , thru I think the bullpen. I think I remember who was warming up in the bullpen. I think.

Can anyone help me with figuring what this would cost etc?

My first Bat Day was 1967 and I got a Roy White bat and my brother got a Mantle bat. These are the ones I still have at home:

Tom Tresh, Mickey Mantle, Horace Clarke, Thurman Munson, Ron Blomberg, Bobby Murcer



Steve Whitaker, Bob Oliver and Frank Baker

Cool, thank you. When did bat day start?

Found it. So it's either 1965 or 1966. I need to go thru the lineup . Then to start searching for the cards and the bat
