I was at this game, it was the second last game of the season Saturday September 28, 1968 at Fenway Park. An unimportant game as the Yankees and Red Sox were out of the race. Mickey Mantle got up in the first inning and popped up to Rico Petrocelli at shortstop. To me, from my first base seats with my brother and father it looked like Mantle was almost trying to sacrificed bunt Horace Clark to third base. Clarke opened the game with a walk and stole a base. I was was a Mantle fan as was many of the 25,534 in attendance who gave Mantle a hand even though he got out. To start the bottom of the first Andy Kosco replaced Mantle at first base. Manager Ralph Houk pulled Mantle from the game giving him the day off and letting him skip the last game Sunday to go home to his family. I met Mantle years later at a book signing and asked him to sign the 1968 Boston Red Sox program telling him it was from his last game. Mickey asked me was my last game in Boston? I said yes but he could not remember it and could not sign the program as the book signing was for his book only. Mantle looked at the program but did not sign it even though it seemed he wanted to. Mantle discusses this game in his second autobiography. He said that he immediately left the ballpark after popping out, went to Logan, and believes that his plane landed in Dallas about the same time that the game ended. He showed up for spring training the next year, but couldn't play anymore. His life time Batting average .298 he said he wished he did not abuse his body and got a few more hitts to end up over .300.
