The late, great Mickey Mantle was one of those legendary players who come around once in a lifetime. His combination of speed and power has not been matched since his playing days with the Yankees over 40 years ago. His 54 home runs in 1961 is the most ever by a switch-hitter.
This rare Mantle Home Run Derby bat was manufactured during the early 1960s when each week America could tune in and watch their favorite players battle each other for the right to be called the Home Run Derby Champion. The bat depicts the face of Mantle on the barrel of the bat with a stamped signature. On the middle of the bat is the "Home Run Derby" emblem. The bat itself is in near-mint condition.
