“Mickey Mantle: Baseball Hero in Black and White” exhibit closes, Okahoma History Center

“Mickey Mantle: Baseball Hero in Black and White” will be on display in the Chesapeake Events Center at the Oklahoma History Center through September 15. The exhibit includes 25 black-and-white images, all originally published in the “Daily Oklahoman” newspaper. The staff of the “Daily Oklahoman” consistently covered the career of Mantle, a native Oklahoman. The photos span from 1950 to the 1960s and depict Mantle in his personal and professional life. The Mickey Mantle photo exhibit utilizes the original reporters’ captions to highlight on-field and off-field milestones of the Baseball Hall of Famer. A few select artifacts are also displayed. Please note this exhibit is on display in the Chesapeake Events Center. This room is also used for meetings and special events. Visitors are encouraged to call 405-522-0765 in advance to confirm the room will be open to the public on the day of their visit.
