INTRODUCTION
Dedicated To The Memory Of My Friend
MICKEY CHARLES MANTLE
& To The Mantle Family
Merlyn, Mickey Jr., David, Billy & Danny
" A PROJECT OF THE HEART "
The Mickey Mantle Memorial Exhibit is a "Project Of The Heart" of Terry Gene and Valerie Hembree, residents of Grove, Oklahoma... located in Northeastern Oklahoma on Grand Lake O' The Cherokees.
The Hembree family is committed to bringing our personal collection of Mantle memorabilia for public viewing in the attempt to secure the memory of baseball great Mickey Charles Mantle, the "Commerce Comet"
We are an absolutely free exhibit, nothing in the exhibit is for sale, we sell no souvenirs or memorabilia items.
Mixing memories of Mickey from his birth in Spavinaw, Oklahoma just a few miles away, to the home town of Commerce, Oklahoma just a few miles in the other direction, to his playing as a youth in the Baxter Whiz Kids in Kansas, through his years as New York Yankee #6 and #7, through his many business ventures, his autograph sessions, and his final days raising monies for numerous charities through his Mickey Mantle Celebrity Golf Classics.
Mickey Mantle was more than just a ball player, he was an idol to millions, a friend, a father, a grandfather and a very special person to the multitude of the Make A Wish Children and other charity participants.
Yes... Mick' is gone but with your help his memory will never die.
We dedicate this special tribute to the memory of Mickey, to his loving wife Merlyn, his dedicated son's David, Danny, Mickey Junior and Billy.
Thank you for your interest, and please pass the word on concerning this great Memorial.
Due my recent strokes and health issues the Mickey Mantle Exhibit and Museum has been forced to become a Private Exhibit or Invited Guests Only, that is why this website is so imporrtant, so I can still share with the Mantle fans!
In fact, the Mickey Mantle Memorial Exhibit has not only been awarded the prestigeous Oklahoma Governor's Red Bud Award as Oklahoma's Number One Tourist Attraction, but also been awarded numerous Congessional & Senatorial Awards and Citations
And this has all been created for the education of our future youth concerning baseball's great Mickey Mantle, and to ensure that the memeory of Mickey Mantle never be forgotten.
Through my marketing and promotion of Mick's Charity Golf Classics and researching I have got to meet a wealth of Mickey Mantle related people that have become friends that without these experiences I more than likely would have never had that opportunity.
Personalities such as, of course Mickey's family, his late wife Merlyn, and son's Mickey Jr., David and Danny, the Ultimate Mantle Fan & Collector, Randall Swearingen, numerous retired Yankees such as the late Yankee Catcher Johnny Blanchard, Yogi Berra, Bill (Moose) Skowron, Hank Bauer, Bobby Richardson, Stan Musial, Roger Maris Jr., Bob Costas and many, many more!
That's it folks, this special memorial is for you, your family and all the Mantle fans all over the world!
We apologise for any inconvenience
Thank you, Terry Gene Hembree, Owner / Curator
