Please refer to him as Henry not Hank
Mickey Mantle just misses this drive by Hank that goes for a triple, Game 2, 1957 WS.
1957 was the only Championship for Hank, a season that also saw him win the NL Most Valuable Player award.
This was also the first World Series since 1948 that a team from New York did not win.
The series featured 10 future Hall-of-Famers: Hank Aaron, Red Schoendienst, Warren Spahn, Eddie Mathews, Casey Stengel, Yogi Berra, Whitey Ford, Mickey Mantle, Enos Slaughter, plus umpires Jocko Conlon & Nester Chylak.

Look kids- Yogi Berra on one knee!
Hank Aaron is wearing a batting helmet. 1 year after the NL required helmets: *In 1956 the National League followed suit and required the use of batting helmets by all players on all teams.*
