Gameday Postmark - This Day in Baseball

July 22, 1954 New York
In the Spirit of Paul Revere - Buy Defense Bonds slogan machine cancel/postmark
Buy Defense Bonds slogan in use 1951-1963

On this day - In an attempt to put more pop in the lineup, Casey Stengel moved Mickey Mantle from centerfield to shortstop, to replace a weak-hitting Willy Miranda. The experiment works as Mantle homers in the 10th inning giving the New York Yankees the 3-2 victory over the Chicago White Sox, at Yankee Stadium

CHW RBI: Nellie Fox 2 (3B)
NYY RBI: Mickey Mantle 2(HR), Yogi Berra (HR), Eddie Robinson (HR)
Winning Pitcher in relief: Johnny Sain
