Always bad mouthing horis Clark. Was an excellent second baseman…and did well considering his talent always hustled not like the kid we got today…I bought a baseball book which praised horance Clark for his defense….

I met Sal Durante at his home in Bensonhurst , New York in 1991 the year of the 30th anniversary of Roger Maris breaking Babe Ruth's single season home run record of 60 by hitting one more at 61 on October 1 1961 -

I was a bright eyed freshman linebacker at Rutgers when I met senior Andy. Man, what a good guy. Most seniors looked down on freshman at the time but this man made me feel welcomed. Rip Andy ❤️💪🏿

The Mick, too bad he didn't take better care of himself. What talent.

4:24 - Did Tim think Mick was going miss home plate?

Ya Mickey was a great player...one of the best.......however.....the draft board rejected him because THEY said he had a bad knee........he was the fastest player from home to first .....verses Tec Williams was a jet fighter pilot ..survived plane crash ..came back to baseball .first at bat homered....went on to hit 406......these circumstances are one the caused of the fierce revelries between Red Sox and Yankees......

I'm the guy that ran on the field and shook his hand at home plate

Mickey moved with such grace. You couldn't take your eyes off every move! The way he ran, the way he swung, the way he folded the ball into his glove and body when he caught a fly ball, even the unique way he knelt in the on deck circle. Just mesmerizing. Also, in 1956 he didn't just win the triple crown, he led the league in four other catagories and won the Hitchcock athlete of the year award.

“Blazing speed,” to some extent perhaps, but one can only imagine what he would have done if he wasn’t hobbled with his knee and leg injuries. And regarding the Elston Howard story about his teammates showing solidarity by eating their meals with him on the bus, it would have been helpful to make note of the particular (southern) state in which it happened.

Why would Brian Hoch not like the book. Ruth, Maris' team won the World Series. Sadly Judge's team,did not perform good enough to go to the WS

Roger was signed by the Cleveland Indians in the same time frame a Rocky Colavito. Both reached the big club around the same time.They became close friends that lasted till Roger's death. I;ve a biography of Colavito, a fairly reccent one. He thought Maris was one of the best people he ever knew.

Billy Martin should be in Baseball Hall of Fame, for manager.

The first home run in the Astrodome in MLB in the regular season was hit by Dick Allen. ( Mickey’s homer was in spring training, ie before the season started.)

Mantle was a much better all around player than ruth.

It was NOT still climbing.

Ruth hit .378 with 59 HR'S and 168 RBI's and didn't win the triple crown. He lost the batting title to Cobb and Henry Heilman. Ruth hit .393 in 1923 and lost to Heilman. He should've won the triple 3 times.

Lets not forget that Mantle played in the old Yankee Stadium where center field was 463 feet, left center was 457 feet, and right center was 407 feet. Mantle hit at least 15 balls that were very long outs in Yankee stadium. So in 1956 Mantle could have hit was over 60 HR if he played in a stadium like Fenway park.

This was a nice little podcast

Mantle did not wear#7 until 1953. He wore #6 in 1951 and 1952.

Mantle's 500 th home run did not occur on Mother's Day. It came off Stu Miller on a Saturday afternoon in April, 1967.

Mantle's 1956 season was spectacular but look at Ruth's 1921 season. It is out of this world!

Mantle was amazing, fast & brilliant defensively. A dream player. But, the best seasons belong to Ruth (1920, 21, 23 & 27).

He could do nothing's GOING playing firstbase count not runi234, ave

I was Mickey in his last few years at first base! He still gave it his all! Growing up in NYC, I took the subway to Yankee Stadium! Still a thrill even when the Yankees and Mickey were in a decline!

Always love to hear these stories!

Billy Martin was probably the best manager of all time. He should be in the HOF. The downside is that he would burn out pitching staffs.

You should put Mickeys name and some words in the descriptions of these videos so they will come up when people search for Mickey Mantle. These are good stories, just need some info added to them so people can start seeing them.

His father was a drunk. He threw up on Angie dickensons private parts. He insulted me and my father in 1978 in Stamford cyo dinner. Fuck you Mickey mantle. You made me and my dad cry. Fuck all of youse. Fuck youse all. Mickey punched their mother in the eye. And beat his wife regularly and hit her when he hit the bottle Horrible man. Mickey urinated on all the cyo guests winter coats when he used the coat closet as a bathroom. February 11 1978. Fuck you Mickey mantle fuck you

Mickey was a piece of garbage 😢

Fond memories of bar hoping with dad. That's interesting.

If that’s having a ruined life, sign me up. He definitely shortened his life by his actions but he was probably the most beloved ballplayer in history . I truly believe if he had remained healthy like Mays, he would be ranked in the top 2 or 3 greatest players ever..we will never know what he could have achieved with 2 good knees.

I recall reading that Roger and Sal remained friends up to Roger's death in 1985.

miss andy rip my man. have a great time with fish

I saw Whitey pitch on a number of occasions both on TV and at Tiger Stadium in Detroit where I grew up as a kid. The Yankee' s always drew a big crowd. The objective was to defeat the opposition. Unfortunately whenever Whitey pitched it made that objective much more difficult to achieve. He was a big game pitcher, who knew what to throw, and when to throw it. Not real over powering, but mixed up pitches well. I hated to see him come to the mound against the Tigers. I knew they would have a tough time getting hits and runs against him. Hated to learn of his passing ...........RIP Mr. Ford.

Nobody ever mentions how good looking Whitey's kids are.

RIP ANDY REDMEN FOR LIFE

Good stuff!

RIP Sal

Mickey hit an all star home run in 1956 and a home run his first ab in the world series...with that all star home run and the three world series homers it was 56 homers in 1956...

Wonderful ! Enjoyed it so much. Thankyou bob palermo

grew up watching mick on b-w tv. was a yankee fan UNTIL stienbrenner bought them and ruinded the team and the stadium

great series. love hearing your stories about your dad. God bless you. i grew up with mick and the yanks in 50s and 60s. he was my hero.

like many others i grew up loving mickey!

Great stories about the Mick. Big fan since 1956. My Dad was in Dallas at the train station and Mickey was there with his Brother-in-law and gave his autograph to my Dad. Of course my Dad was getting it for me. Greatest Switch Hitter of all times⚾️

So sad Mickey ruined his life and his family. What might have been.

annoying new york accents and attitudes

RIP Joan Hodges! So happy she lived long enough to see Gil get inducted into the Baseball HOF! Now she is reunited with him in heaven! God Bless Him!

My friend Eddie Migs cousin was going out & married Sal Durante who caught the ball that day.

Tengo una pintura firmada por el Sr. Perillo, pero no logro encontrarla en ninguna de sus redes sociales, habrá algún e-Mail par contactar con su equipo?

Yawn 🥱
