Before he prowled center field for the New York Yankees and won World Series championships, Mickey Mantle crushed balls out of parks in area towns including Pittsburg, Carthage, Mo., and Miami, Okla.<br />Mantle's first season of professional baseball came when he was a 17-year-old shortstop for the Independence Yankees in the Kansas-Oklahoma-Missouri League.<br />
