(LOT 1229)
Mickey Mantle and Whitey Ford 8x10 Signed Famous WEEKI WACHEE MERMAID Image JSA LOA

This 8x10 color photo has been signed by Baseball Hall Of Famers Mickey Mantle and Whitey Ford. These N.Y. Yankee Legends are seen holding a Weeki Wachee mermaid on the field which looks to be located in Spring Training. Like the sirens of the Sea, during the 1950's and 60's the Mermaids in their signature one piece bathing suits would wave to drivers passing by, beckoning them in to see the show. Weeki Wachee was a hit with Hollywood – drumming up all sorts of celebrity sightings in its heyday including Elvis, Don Knotts, Esther Williams, Arthur Godfrey and athletes like Mickey Mantle & Whitey Ford. A unique and rare 8x10 color photo for the advanced New York Yankees Hall Of Fame collection. JSA LOA included.
