Mickey Mantle pinch hit clout delivers a walk off win for Yankees

Mickey Mantle switch-hits home runs in the same game for the fourth time in his career.

On August 26, 1966 — Detroit’s Earl Wilson, winner of six straight, hits an 8th-inning homer to give himself a 5 – 3 lead over New York. But the Yankees, batting against reliever Hank Aguirre in the 9th, tally one run on a Clete Boyer single, and win it, 6 – 5, when Mickey Mantle clouts a pinch homer over a leaping Al Kaline in RF. The win still leaves New York (57-72) in last place.
