Bob Cerv and Cliff Mapes both had #7 in 1951. Mantle had # 6 and 7 in 1951. Don't know if Cerv or Mapes was the last to have #7.

Why did Mickey Mantle change his number from 6 to 7?
April 17, 1951 the 19 year old Mickey Mantle broke into the big leagues with the New York Yankees wearing uniform number 6. After a bad start Mickey was sent down to the minors. He told his dad he was going to quit, and his father told him to pack his bags to come home. After a second thought to try again Mickey was then called up again to the Yankees, and was then issued number 7 for good. It is possible that Bobby Brown was issue number 6 when Mantle returned, and Mantle took number 7 which was also worn by Bob Cerve, and Cliff Mapes earlier in the 1951 season. Clif Mapes who was trades late in 1951 also had number uniform 3 in 1948, and had to give it up when the Yankees retired the number in honor of Babe Ruth at the end of the year. Mapes is the only Yankee to have worn both Babe Ruth's number 3, and Mickey Mantle's number 7.
