Mickey Mantle’s Dog

He wasn’t the greatest player who ever lived, maybe not even of his time.  But he was wicked fast, given to huge home runs, and had larger-than-life seasons. He was on baseball’s most famous team during the game’s last dominant era, and his baseball cards continue to be hugely collectable ( one is selling for $40,909.99!!).  He was Mickey Mantle, a centerfielder switch-hitter of heart-stopping power, and he was a purebred dog owner. His breed? The Boxer.
