Last Legends cover for the Tocco era

As promised in the previous post here is the last cover I did for Paul Tocco. I liked the composition of this one and was glad it was the 50th cover and was of Mickey Mantle. As a boy growing up in San Diego in the 50's and 60's we watched baseball on TV on Saturday after Dad had us five boys (no sisters, my poor Mom was out numbered) doing yard work. It always seemed the Yankees were playing some other team and the announcers were former players Dizzy Dean and Pee Wee Reese. Mantle was who all of us kids dreamed of becoming playing the baseball games in the street out in front of the house. And yes there were a few broken windows. Ultimately that is what Paul and I wanted to accomplish with the covers. After all most collect to capture a portion of ones past.
