My hero ......and an even bigger hero at the end of his life. I know many older guys cried the day he died I did. I took a T shirt and painted 7 on it that day. I was 40 yrs old ....Mickey was our Mickey ....and he hoped at the end people would say he did ok. Mickey you did GREAT!

One of a kind - never to be duplicated

I know that I shouldn't, but I love the stories of Mantle and Martin carousing.

I own this dvd and have watched it many times. Brings a tear to my every time I watch the end.

This is maybe the best Mantle documentary I've seen--and there is NO AI CRAP.

Thank you for sharing this great documentary.

THANK YOU!

The Magnificent Mickey Mantle!

Mantle could steal bases. His success rate in his prime years was 90 percent! All with a messed up knee. Incredible.

Fabulous, Michael !  I Grew Up Watching The Mick.....All Through His Best Years!
Loved Mel Allen & Bob Shepard!

This man was twice as good as all those Griffy's and such!! On bad legs!!!!

My pleasure

Growing up in the 60s all my white friends, Micky was their guy. My guy was Mays. Looking back now. I would have been proud to be a Micky guy.

my freaking idol growing up in NYC in the 1960s. he was god. jeez look at the size of that bat. it's like a Ruthian 54 oz!. in 1968 there was really only one kind of base ball card..topps. you couldn't get a mantle all year. then suddenly in 1969, there were 2 mickeys in every pack (probably because he announced his retirement) I had a shoebox full of "doubles". man imagine how much they would be worth today. he was the man. one of the most likable and great players ever. imagine his numbers if he didn't hurt his leg his rookie yr 51. wow

No steroids needed Mantle was amazing! He's next to Berra, Jeter and Rivera on my all time favorites list

Mickey's boyhood idol was Stan Musial. He would've loved to keep #6.

2.9 seconds to 1st base.

The man could hit with power from either side of the plate; he could play his position, steal bases, hit for average, knock in RBIs.....he could do it all.......THE BEST ALL AROUND BASEBALL PLAYER I'VE EVER SEEN IN THE LAST 65 YEARS AND HE DID IT ALL ON ALCOHOL !

My boy and hero

Btw, I wear #77 on all my baseball shirts.  #77 is #7 doubled.  Obviously, it's also in my screen name.  I watched the Mick live for $.50-1.00 as a 5-year old.  10-20 cents each way on the #4 El, 50 cents bleachers.  Less if I eluded either turnstile!
