You never see this guy!

Seriously, this is from the personal collection of a former Yankee employee I got quite a few years ago. He took it 47 years ago today, June 8, 1969, at the Mantle Day uniform retirement ceremonies at Yankee Stadium.

The others seen are Mel Allen, then Mets coach Yogi Berra, and, in uniform, Jake Gibbs 1961. Not sure who the fellow with his hand on the dugout is. This is moments before Mantle was introduced to the crowd of 60,096.
