Read the question wrong. I thought it said where did Mantle first play. Why I deleted it.

In baseball today it's either Florida or Arizona. Back then I have no idea if it was that way. I'm sure it was somewhere in the south though.
Phoenix? Dallas?

During the War, they trained in odd places but wartime travel restrictions had to be lifted by 1949. Yankees had a farm team in Kansas City so Iβll guess there

i'm not a map major - but I always regarded Phoenix as West and not South - is this my own ignorance showing it's ugly head again?
now I get we can further slice things down like - southwest, northwest, northeast, southeast - but to me Phoenix = West
is this a bad look on my part?
