Good stuff, Dan. The original Senators franchise, even with a last-place finish in '59, had three players appear in Home Run Derby: Harmon Killebrew, Jim Lemon and Bob Allison. Previous A.L. homer champ Roy Sievers was hurt a lot in '59. He could represented the White Sox, had the show gone another year.
Mantle, BTW, chose to bat right-handed in all his appearances from what I've read.
