Where Have You Gone, Mickey Mantle? His Big Day at Bovard Field
One of the seminal moments in American history took place on October 3, 1951, when Bobby Thomson hit what has become known as “The Shot Heard ‘Round the World”. Earlier in 1951, Mickey Mantle burst onto the scene as a rookie for the New York Yankees. These seemed like two good bookends for a story about 1951 as a turning point in American history.
We feature stories about Mantle and his big day at Bovard Field on the University of Southern California campus March 26, 1951, Dalton Trumbo, John Van Druten, Preston Sturges, Harold Lloyd, Sam Fuller, H. L. Mencken, and Charles P. Everitt.
