Description: Significant Mickey Mantle 526th Home Run baseball from Whitey Ford. Lightly toned and soiled Cronin AL baseball hit by Mickey Mantle in the sixth inning of a game played on June 11, 1968 between the New York Yankees and the Chicago White Sox.

"Mickey Mantle's #526th Home Run June 11, 1968" is inscribed across the sweet spot and south panel in period black felt tip marker. The offered baseball represents one of the highest numerical Mickey Mantle home run baseballs to have been offered publicly as Mantle would hit just ten more for the season and his career. The ball itself exhibits evident game use including an apparent area of impact to one side panel. Documented home run baseballs of this type are seldom offered to the collecting public.
