Mantle hit 372 homers left-handed in his career and only 164 right-handed, but chose to bat exclusively right-handed for this series, reiterating in the first episode that his longest home runs had come right-handed.
Mantle hit 372 homers left-handed in his career and only 164 right-handed, presumably due to facing far more right-handed than left-handed pitchers. He chose to bat exclusively right-handed for this series, reiterating in the first episode that his longest home runs had come right-handed.
