Early professional career

The last sentence: "breaking Mickey Mantle's record of 20 years, 362 days - on Mantle's birthday, so he actually was 21 years old." doesn't really make sence to me. Could someone explain what the part behind the dash means? Mltinus (talk) 07:20, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I added that he started his career with the atlanta braves because it seemed from the beginning like he was always a yankee. Jpletzke (talk) 19:57, 31 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
