"Mickey is the most powerful slugger in the game today. In park after park, he's astounded fans with his prodigious belts. In 1956, he won baseball's top achievement by leading the league in runs, homers, RBIs and batting average. As an outfielder, he can roam far and wide to haul in sure hits and owns a powerful throwing arm."
