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.

What was Mickey Mantle’s, Boxer’s name?
Thank you
A good question, Tom, and despite a bit of digging, we weren’t able to find the answer. Perhaps one of our readers know?
