MICKEY CHARLES MANTLE


On Sunday afternoon, May 4, 1952, in game 1 of a doubleheader at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx, 2nd year player Mickey Charles Mantle, aka the "Commerce Comet", set the MLB record for a player 20 years or younger, by extending his ON-BASE STREAK to 36 Games.

Mickey Mantle Sets MLB Rec. 36-GM On-Base STREAK!



Mickey Mantle debuted w/ the Yankees on April 17, 1951, when he was only nineteen years old.

Mantle's MLB record 36-gm on-base streak began his rookie season on September 5, 1951, when he was still only 19; & ended on Sunday, May 4, 1952, when he was 20 yrs old.

Mickey Mantle's MLB-Record ON-BASE Streak Began Sept. 5, 1951 & Ended May 4, 1952


So, The Mick was only 19 yrs old for the first 21 games of his on-base streak...& 20 yrs old for the remaining 15 games of the streak in 1952.


Coincidentally, the 36-gm on-base streak would be broken the very same day, May 4, 1952, in gm 2 of this Bronx doubleheader as Mantle went 0-for-4 with an RBI, driving in Phil Rizzuto from 3rd on an 8th inning sacrifice fly to RF.
