NICE Jackie Jensen Pic! I have a Jackie story. A few years ago I was in a pzzia place in Miami. The owner must have been a huge Mickey Mantle fan because he had a whole wall devoted to Mickey. Lots of stuff, lots of pics. As I look over the wall I spot a pic and right away I KNOW it's NOT Mickey. The guy is holding the bat to bat RHed, and OK Mickey is a switch hitter. The pic is a very young player, just not Mickey. Of course, it's Jackie Jensen! They both came up about the same time and at that age they did look a lot alike, depending on the angle. I'm betting the owner/Mickey fan, followed Mickey after his MVP year and really thought this was a young Mickey pic. I mean, it was the ONLY solo pic on the wall that wasn't Mickey. Really strange...
