I was a Mantle nut. Kept every picture & article about THE MICK in Daily News, but someone threw them away when i went into Air Force. 2 most beautiful things i ever saw in sports was The Mick or Gale Sayers running. Thanks for the pics.

Thank you Cesar, I was hoping you would like it.

Ok Joe, only you would come up with that story. But it is a good one if true.

Julio, great photos. I recall hearing that Jimmy Piersal, Red Sox center fielder, one time urinated behind the monuments. Now he'd have to climb a fence to do it :-)

I now believe you are a true Yankee fan through the good and bad times.
Thanks for sharing our memories.
