I was never a Yankee fan, except during a couple of WS when I put some money on them to win. However, I always liked Mantle. He was very humble and respectful to players and fans alike. Sad story but Mantle's legacy besides being one of the all time greats, was the fine man he was with so many personal hurdles to clear. RIP Mickey Charles Mantle.

You will always be the best in my book. You are superhuman, and you are human.

I’m 67, sober 13 years, Mickey is still my hero😢

Say what you will, the man was REAL!

I've been a Yankee's fan since the mid 50's. I worshiped the ground he walked on The greatest Yankee I've ever seen play

Mickey Mantle was before my time. Even so, when I hear his name it’s as American as apple pie. Seemed like a genuine guy who just struggled with many of the same issues I do. Rest in peace sir.

On the day he passed away (August 13, 1995) the amateur collegiate summer league AAABA tournament started in Johnstown, PA. Upon hearing the news of Mantle’s passing the American flag in centerfield was lowered to half-mast. It remained there for the rest of the tournament. I was there. I saw it.

I'm am a mickey fan .t Miick was a good to me. Saw him play since5.iost my two sons and wife .I wanted to drinke ever day. But I didn't O .,m . . . ... . I

I admire him so much for his honesty and vulnerability in this interview. That does not excuse the horrible mistakes along the way. You can tell how much he hurts when he speaks of his boys. He was before my time but my Dad said he was an unreal talent. The film doesn't lie. I sincerely respect him for the courageous gestures he made later in life. We lost this mighty Yankee way too soon.

Mickey and Costas, great interview.

Read the book “The last Boy”.

I definitely heard plenty of stories from my cousin. He and Mickey were best of friends.

His dad sounded like an awesome, super hard working guy

Played baseball like Superman, but was just a good man!

This is a great interview by Bob Costas. Kudos to him

I loved MM im just glad he got saved and is now in Heaven so i will get to see him again..He got saved when his teammate Bobby Richardson led him to the Lord on his death bed...Amen..

Sadly, Mickey died about three months after I was born (at 63 years old). Without that being said, he was able to kick SO much ass on his bad days and do better than what most sober guys did well on their good days. I’m going by what I’ve heard and have seen in the movie 61.

Typical Costas. Only New York matters, and only New York has heroes. Not St. Louis, Chicago, Detroit, or Cleveland. Even Mickey is awkward listening to this loser. He doesn't want to BE here.

I love the Mick hes the original superhero.

You turned out alright Mickey. You turned out alright buddy.

Wow! Great interview Mickey. Thank you for the honesty

Man I never knew this about Mickey Mantle obviously I’m not a baseball legend but hearing his story brings tears to my eyes because I’ve had some the same struggles as him wow

No one compares to Mickey.The very best.

what a rude comment- i always thought there was a lot of sadness about you- dude, every male member of his family had died before the age of 40 from cancer, plus he played every day for 18 years with intense pain in both legs

The part where Costas said “you’re the guy who stood in the shadow of the monuments at Yankee Stadium” was special.

Growing up in the 50's and 60's Mickey was a baseball icon to me. My heart feels for him since I lost my son Derek at the age of 24. A man has his limits and losing a child is beyond comprehension. God bless you Mickey. You will always be a hero to me.

Wow. I cannot imagine today’s sycophantic sports “reporters” conducting such an interview with Tiger, LaBron, or Tom Brady. This is not what I expected.

I hope that Mickey made up with his wife and left the other lady.

He probably had cancer ravaging his body at this time. But still he honored all his commitments.

Back in 1962 in Florida watching spring training with my dad I was a kid asking for autographs as the players arrived for a game. Got Elston Howard and Yogi Berra. Asked Mr. Mantle for his and he ignored me. Never forgot that.

RIP Joe Pepitone

Moose told me he wish he had a mechanical hand holding ball an sign hurt his arthritis in later years A chi sox Ambassador with RonKittle king of the roofers at sox park he hit 7 both bedt guys I ever met Bill S RIP with MLB Angels in heaven with u dodgers yankees chi sox I miss u gorever all talks we had at ohare AAL to ur card shows an signings the best❤

The best Weber HS Chicago ill

This is the most honest interview ever.Words don't explain everything but he meant what he said.

Mickey was a heck of a iconic person.

You never let us baseball fans down. You gave us much joy in the way you played the game.

So interesting to hear Mickey acknowledge feelings, thoughts, dreams that he can perceive are unusual but can't quite explain or come fully to grips with.

One of the people he let down was Casey Stengel, who didn’t hide the fact that he felt Mickey should have had a much greater career, but had squandered it with his irresponsible lifestyle.

Two of the best our game will see or hear!

Such an honest, vulnerable interview. It must've been hard for Mick, but he did alright. Cheers to Bob Costas, too, for asking the tough questions.

What a great interview

Wow man , what a true human hero

Mantle is an icon and a legend and a genuine classy guy. Probably why he didn't knock Costas out, because he had class.

Drunk.

I saw him the 1st game I ever went to at Yankee Stadium. It was 1959. Whitey Ford was pitching. There were a number of future Hall of Famers playing that day.

Great job

Mickey is a dunker ya know

What an incredibly sad interview.

He turned out allright, allright.

Mantle was my dad's favorite player and Jeter was mine they are the reason I wear 27 I put the 2 and the 7 together for my old man RIP mick
