MANTLE (1931-1995, born Mickey Charles Mantle in Spavinaw, Oklahoma), a New York Yankees slugger from 1951 to 1968, won the Triple Crown in 1956 and a World Series Grand Slam in 1953.

The switch-hitting "Commerce Comet" accumulated a long list of accomplishments, including three MVP awards and a Triple Crown (1956). He contributed to 12 pennants and seven World Series titles in his first 14 seasons while establishing numerous World Series records, including most home runs (18). He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1974. MAYS (1931-2024), born Willie Howard Mays, Jr. in Westfield, Alabama, a star on the New York/San Francisco Giants from 1951 to 1972, led the league in stolen base titles in 1956, 1957, 1958 and 1959. His career batting average was .302, and Mays hit 660 home runs and 1,903 career RBIs. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1979. SNIDER (born Edwin Donald Snider Los Angeles, California in 1926), who played for the Brooklyn/Los Angeles Dodgers from 1947 to 1962, had a career batting average of .295 and hit 407 career homers and 1,333 RBIs.
