MICKEY MANTLE       Center Field. Born Oct. 20, 1931 Spavinaw, OK. AL MVP 1956, 1957, 1962. Despite a chronic bone infection in his legs and operations on both knees, Mickey Mantle became baseball's most powerful switch hitter, hitting 536 home runs in the regular season and setting a World Series record with 18 more.       Named for Mickey Cochrane, his father's favorite player, Mantle learned to switch hit at age five and starred in high school baseball and football, developing osteomyelitis after bruising a leg in a football game. After a short (and error-filled) career as a minor league shortstop, he became the Yankees' regular right fielder before his twentieth birthday. He suffered his first serious injury during the 1951 Series when he tripped on a drain at Yankee Stadium and required surgery for torn knee cartilage.       Joe DiMaggio retired that fall, and Mantle moved to center field, hitting .311 in 142 games. He led the league in home runs (37) in 1955 and, a year later, won the Triple Crown, hitting 52 homers, knocking in 130 runs, and batting .353. The only player besides Jimmie Foxx to hit 50 homers and win a batting title, Mantle won the MVP award and shone in the World Series, hitting three homers as the Yanks beat Brooklyn in seven games.       In 1957 he was chosen MVP again as he hit .365. He won home run crowns again in 1958 (42) and 1960 (40), finishing second to Roger Maris' 61 homers in 1961 with 54. Mantle was named MVP a third time in 1962 when he hit .321. On June 5, 1963, he broke his left foot in Baltimore, ending a season in which he had 15 home runs in 172 at-bats, although he returned in time to hit a home run in the World Series.       His personal choice for most memorable homer was his ninth-inning shot off Cardinal Barney Schultz in 1964, which broke Babe Ruth's record for lifetime Series home runs and won Game Three. Mickey went on to hit two more in that Series, his last, and wound up his tenth Series with 18 homers, 42 runs scored, 123 total bases, and 40 RBIs--all records.       Despite his injuries, Mantle holds the Yankee record for games played--2,401. He retired during spring training in 1969, and, on June 8, received a ten-minute standing ovation at Yankee Stadium. He was named to the Hall of Fame in 1974. Occupation: Baseball player.
