Always an affable character around fans and media, "The Mick" made some lucky fans happy in 1994 when he made an appearance at the Yankees Fantasy Camp. This jersey, probably one of the last worn by Mantle before his passing in '95, is a unique piece for any collector. On the left front tail is the "Russell Athletic" label with size "48" and below it is the "2" Extra Body Length" label. Next to this is a label with the name "Mantle" and below is a label reading "Fantasy Camp 1994." On the left breast is the "NY" interlocking logo and on the back is the player number "7." Both the name and number are made of blue tackle twill. On the right sleeve is the "125th Anniversary" embroidered patch. The jersey shows wear and appears to have no alterations of any kind.
