Yankees All Time Outfield – Mickey Mantle

Rather that go position by position through the outfield, we’d rather do this All Star voting style, where we just pick the 3 top outfielders and make them interchangeable out there. Mickey Mantle is the first of those top 3. He’d probably end up playing left field on this all time team, because we’ve got a better fielding option in center and our right fielder is one of the best ballplayers of all time. I think people forget how great Mickey Mantle really way. 3 MVP awards, a triple crown, 16 times voted an all star, a batting average just under .300 but an on-base percentage over .420… the list could go on and on. He even won a gold glove for good measure.
