In Game 2 of the World Series, right fielder Mickey Mantle's season comes to an immediate end when he severely injures his right knee when his cleats get caught on a drainage cap at Yankee Stadium.

Seriously though, what could've been? Mantle could have played 3-4 more years. He would've pushed Maris to the end in '61 (although Maris is a personal hero) and probably could have gotten to 650+ HRs

He's the Griffey jr. of the 50's
