After announcing his retirement in
March of 1969, the Yankees made plans
to honor Mickey Mantle with a special
day. On June 8, 1969 New York's Mayor
Lindsey declared it Mickey Mantle Day,
and the New York Yankees ceremoniously
retired the number 7 worn by Mantle.
Several souvenir items were produced to
commemorate the occasion, including
special programs, pennants, and
buttons. Some Pennants were sold with
the Mickey Mantle Day buttons attached
to them, through souvenir vendors in,
and outside Yankee Stadium.
These full size 30" Red White & Blue pennants feature a Large Yankees Top
Hat logo on the left. and to the right
reads "Mickey Mantle Day" In dark blue
block lettering. Below that is the date
"JUNE 8th . 1969" in red. This
variation of the three sold at the
stadium is the rarest of the three, and
does sell at a premium, along with the
blue pennant with the "Mickey We Love
You" in white print. The Red with white
printing pennant that reads "I was
There Mickey Mantle Day June 8th 1969"
is the most common and sells for about
$100.-$250. in Excellent-Near Mint
condition.
