Tailgate Honoring 1951 Trojans • March 26, 2016
Baseball alumni Bob Hertel, Dave Rankin, Tom Lovrich and Stan Charnofsky attended our tailgate before the Trojans took on UCSB. These Trojans played against the Yankees exactly 65 years before on March 26, 1951 at Bovard Field in a game that came to be known as Mickey Mantle’s “coming out” party where he hit two home runs and a triple, including a monster shot that bounced into the huddle of the USC Football team practicing on an adjacent field. Noted baseball historian Morris Eckhouse, Administrator of the Baseball Heritage Museum at League Park in Cleveland, interviewed the USC Baseball legends.
