THE NEW YORK TIMES, March 2, 1969
* Mickey Mantle retires
* New York Yankees
* Best title to have
The front page has a three column heading near the bottom of the front page: "Mantle Ends 18-Year, Injury-Ridden Baseball Career" with photo (see photos). This is 1st report coverage on the retirement of Yankee great, Mickey Mantle. Great to have in this famous NYC title.
Other news of the day. Unfortunately there are some sections missing from this thick Sunday edition including the sport's section which was to have more coverage on Mantle's retirement. About 80+ pages are still present, minor margin wear, otherwise nice. Still great to have Mantle's retirement on the front page of this New York city newspaper.
