Mickey Mantle, the fastest ballplayer?

[Mangosteen]

@dp

i dont have a lot of knowledge about photography, but it seems to me that if someone wanted to calculate Mantles speed it would not be too hard to do. Get film of several base hits, distance from home to first is known, frames per second of film is known, calculate.

Mantle had 6 inside the park home runs during his career. If there are videos of any one of them, you could time his running and compare to other players running during an ITPHR.
