This
is a Mickey Mantle Foundation / Mickey's team
baseball cap. The cap has the official
Mickey Mantle foundation Logo on front, and has an
adjustable all size fits all back. Given a few precious extra weeks of life because of a liver transplant, Mickey Mantle will be remembered for something more than his heroic baseball career. This baseball great, considered a hero by many, was overwhelmed by the selfless gift of a liver from a stranger. Learning of the critical need for organ, and tissue donation,
Mickey Mantle became determined to give something back at the end of his life. He directed that The
Mickey Mantle Foundation be established to promote organ and tissue donation, and had
a card issued to help promote it. He was very proud of this.
The baseball cap was one a few items produced to promote
organ donor awareness.
