Dodgers over the Yankees, correct? That would mean Mickey Mantle, Yogi Berra, Roger Maris, Whitey Ford. I'm not good with jersey numbers but I know that Mantle had a single digit.

[CATLAX MAN]

You got the team, but not the player. Told you it wasn't obvious. Mantle was #7, Berra was #8, Maris was #9 (I think), Ford was #16 (?).
