NOTE TO SITE EDITOR: In this opening question, you display Roger Maris's No. 9 uniform number, not Mickey's No. 7; In one of the later Q&A's the photo is of Roger Maris hitting a home run with his very distinctive swing, which is similar to, though most definitely not, The Mick's. These two minor errors tend to taint all the good work done assembling information about Mantle. You should fix, post haste.

Commerce High School Football Yes. Mickey Mantle was an all-around athlete at Commerce High School, playing Basketball, football, and Baseball. It was football playing that nearly ended his athletic career, and his life. Kicked in the shin during a game, Mantle's leg soon became infected with osteomyelitis, a crippling disease that would have been incurable just a few years earlier. A midnight ride to Tulsa enabled Mantle to be treated with newly available penicillin, saving his leg from amputation. He would suffer from the effects of the disease for the rest of his life, and it would lead to many other injuries that hampered his accomplishments.
