I never saw Joan Rivers gush over a guy like this
-
Just read his and Willies autobiographies, Willies was a happy story that made me cry and Mickey's was very, very sad and made me cry. Both very good for baseball fans.
-
what year was this?

@seeingthesigns If you read the article Mickey wrote for SI in 1994, entitled "I Was Killing Myself", which can be found on the internet, he neglected to rehab himself properly and spent more time drinking because Mickey was afraid of dying young. So it's a little bit of both that shortened his career.

The Mick played it humble for this interview. He said he retired due to his drinking and carousing.
But it was also his injuries that really caught up with him.
-
If he taken care of himself he could have easily hit 715 and 61.
-
I like Chipper too, but The Mick, man, he's number 1.

To me, Joan Rivers looks beautiful in this scene and Mickey Mantle is old, but still the COOLEST. NYY# 7 The best baby!
When I was a boy, Mickey Mantle was tops--the epitome of a baseball player. There wasn't this animosity that exists now between Red Sox & Yankees' fans--just a healthy rivalry, so it was cool to like Carl Yastrzemski and Tony Conigliaro, and Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris, all at the same time. After all, a class act is a class act, no matter for what team he plays!
