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.
