Mickey Mantle’s 1956 Season Was Simply Ridiculous

Welcome to Pinstripe Territory, your ultimate destination for all things New York Yankees! In this episode, we dive deep into the greatest franchise in sports history.

Mickey Mantle hit 16 home runs in May 1956 and batted .414. When he cooled off in June, he hit .324. And on September 18, Ted Williams still had the better batting average.

Mantle finished at .353 with 52 home runs and 130 RBIs. He won the Triple Crown, hit the home run that clinched the pennant, and helped save Don Larsen’s perfect game. This Pinstripe Territory documentary follows the season from that absurd May through Game 5 of the World Series, when Mantle gave Larsen the lead with his bat and kept the perfect game alive with his glove.
