Who was the scout that helped sign Mickey Mantle to his first big contract?
In 1948 playing semi-pro Ball as a shortstop in Baxter Springs (KS) Yankees' scout Tom Greenwade came to Baxter Springs to watch Mickey's teammate, third baseman Billy Johnson. During the game Mickey Mantle hit two homers, one right handed, and one left handed into a river well past the ballpark's fences. Greenwade wanted to sign Mickey on the spot but, upon finding out that he was only sixteen and still in high school, told him he would come back to sign him with the Yankees on his graduation day in 1949. Good to his word, Greenwade was there right on schedule, signing Mickey Mantle to a minor league contract with the Yankees Class D team in Independence.

During the game Mantle hit two home runs, one righthanded and one lefthanded. The scout wanted to sign him immediately but couldn't because Mantle was only 16 years old. Mantle signed a Yankees contract on the day he graduated from high school. It was worth $400 with an $1,100 signing bonus.
