I was a Yankees fan when I was young. I used to read the sports section of the Tampa Tribune every morning as soon as it was delivered to our house. Over Life cereal I would devour the paper, without tasting the cereal, to see if Mickey Mantle had homered or struck out 3 times. I understand your son's loyalty. Mantle played his last year in 1968. I was 17 years old at that time. I remember the last televised game Mantle played. 3 for 5, including a drag bunt single and a worm burner that made the first baseman jump as it passed between his legs. It was ruled a hit because the ball was hit so hard nobody could have caught it. 👍
