Thanks for uploading. Mickey Mantle was truly my boyhood hero. I recall being in tears in 1964 when the Yankees lost to the Cards for the beginning of the lean years and also when MIckey died. The first time were tears of sorrow of a young boy, the second were mixed - sadness over the death, and tears of joy when listening to Bobby Richardson's eulogy as he told the story of Mickey accepting Christ - I was so glad to know that the "Mick" is in heaven!!!! Thanks for posting!
My dad and uncles are baby boomers and I can see why many boys during that era just idolized and loved this man. He just has that innocent boyish charm along with that great baseball prowess, not to mentioned baseball was the most popular sport at that time also helped. I guess I can understand that Mantle represented an era. Great upload!
hey, this was awesome...I just listened...didn't even pay attention to the jumping screen effect...could have been radio for all I cared. Mickey Mantle was a great man..even though he never thought so.
@johnstone2010.. first thing is to convert them to dvd. Search online for a panasonic vhs to dvd recorder...they're a bit pricey but work great!!! Target carries the newest version... Then I sat for hours/days/weeks/months:) transfering the parts I wanted to keep to dvd..
I'm only 22 but I love this guy and the golden age of baseball

I had had three heroes in the 60s, JFK, The Mick, and My Dad, the only real hero was Dad.
