Growing Up In Oklahoma

Mantle was born on October 20, 1931 in Spavinaw, Oklahoma. He was named after another Hall of Famer in catcher Mickey Cochrane, his father’s favorite player (Mantle often joked late in life that he was glad his father didn’t call him Cochrane’s actual name, Gordon). Cochrane was at the top of hi
