Mantle was just the sixth player in the history of the game to reach the 500 home run plateau. The names that came before him were: Willie Mays, Ted Williams, Mel Ott, Jimmie Foxx, and Babe Ruth. Mantle hit 36 more before calling it a career after the '68 season. The Yankees legend will forever be remembered as one of the greatest to ever pick up a bat.
Watch Mantle make history, with Jerry Coleman making the call: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ioALzM98jaQ "Here it goes!! It's outta here!!!"
