Learning of the critical need for
organ, and tissue donation, Mickey
Mantle became determined to give
something back at the end of his life.
He directed that The Mickey Mantle
Foundation be established to promote
organ and tissue donation, and had an
"Organ Donor" trading card issued
to help promote it. Given a few
precious extra weeks of life because of
a liver transplant, Mickey Mantle will
be remembered for something more than
his heroic baseball career. This
baseball great, considered a hero by
many, was overwhelmed by the selfless
gift of a liver from a stranger.
The white and
blue Mickey Mantle Foundation -Mickey's team baseball cap, features the
official number "7" Mickey Mantle
Foundation Mickey's Team logo on front.
The adjustable all size fits all
back baseball cap, was produced by the
Associated Premium corporation, of
Cincinnati, Ohio.
