    I just loved her. Though I saw very little of her throughout her career because I was so distracted with my own life in flux. I moved from the bay area to L.A. where my sister lived, in 1997 and that was sheer survival,hard luck and eventually misbehavior for those seven years.. I simply missed her play throughout her career.🏸😐 But you took the words right out of my mouth: Her intelligence and wileyness,especially at the net, counterpunched nicely against the sheer power of her opponents. I think she was charming. I could tell that the English really liked her too. "Go,Martina".✌

    Wikipedia huh?...Now that's funny. 1) I've heard just about every MM interview & never once heard him speaking about sexual abuse as a kid. What's your source for this claim. 2) MM's own admission as far as his drinking were deeply attributed to his family's hereditary Hutchins Disease (mentioned as "terminal cancer" in this lame attempted video) His father & uncle both died young & MM always said he thought he'd never live even as long as he did, otherwise he would have taken better care of himself. No mention of peer pressure/bad influences of Billy Martin & Whitey Ford & their drinking escapades in the 50's. Martin was later traded away as the NYY felt this might help curtail MM's partying. 3) Your rookie season 1951 has zero mention of MM's poor start & being sent back down to Joplin. His father rescued him by calling MM out (story told by MM many times) as a coward. MM then returned to NYY permanently after the infamous meeting between his father & Mickey. 4) MM's drain pipe knee injury was in the 1951 World Series (never mentioned). Your video is missing a key note that Casey Stengel instructed MM to call off as many fly balls as possible from Joe D (in his final season), but Joe D's ego made him call off MM very late in that play, thus the MM injury occurred. Many blamed Joe D for the play that attributed to MM's injury plagued career. Not mentioned. 5) MM's career did not "meteoric" take-off. If anything he was a huge disappointment to many hard core NYY fans who worshipped Joe D. MM was booed many times early in his career & was never fully accepted by many until the 1961 HR race w/Maris. It's well noted MM even admitted he struggled in his early career by not living up to the high expectations. Casey Stengel later blamed himself for putting MM on such a high pedestal. 6) Zero mention that MM's triple crown in 1956 that it was a major league triple crown, which was later changed to a league TC. No mention he won the AL MVP 3x including that 56 TC that was glossed over here. 7) 1961 HR chase. You could not have been more incorrect about the media & fans treatment towards MM. Maris was a country kid who wanted zero part of the media You called him "media friendly"? Heck, Maris's hair was literally falling out in clumps due to the media 24/7 hounding. MM was the home grown fan's darling since Maris was basically an outsider acquired from KC A's aka the NYY farm system in those days. 1961 Media often reported that MM & RM were fighting to fan the flames of the HR chase. The truth was RM & MM were room mates during the 1961 season & great friends. The "abscess" you glossed over was actually an infection that developed from a butt injection MM received in mid-September that ended his season. Zero mention of Billy Crystal's movie "*61", which depicted the HR chase. No mention of the breaking of Ruth's single season mark done in 154 games NOT 162 games (due to league expansion in 1961 & watered down pitching). It was big deal at the time w/an asterisk applied by then commissioner Ford Frick to Maris's record (later removed). 8) End of MM's career. Zero mention of his 18 world series HR's a record that still stands today. Zero mention of MM's 1964 walk-off "called" HR in the World Series in the bottom of the 9th vs Barney Shultz, when MM told Elston Howard to "put it away Ellie, this one's over". MM knew he hit Schultz well (knuckleballer) who had just entered in relief. 9) Zero mention of MM's 18 all-star appearances, gold gloves, blazing speed as a rookie, drag bunting specialist, massive tape measure shots (565' in Clark Griffith Stadium in Washington) or the 2 blasts off the upper deck facade in right field at Yankee Stadium (closest to ever hitting a fair ball out of YS). Greatest power-hitting switch hitter baseball has ever seen. 10. Mickey's lifetime avg didn't dip below point three zero zero. It's called 300. His final career batting avg was .298 (pronounced 298). 11) No mention of MM's 535th career HR in late 1968 off Denny McClain, when McClain served one up for MM to allow him pass Jimmy Foxx at 534. Mickey told this story many times. I heard that HR on the radio as the game was not televised. 12) MM retirement announcement came in spring training in Fort Lauderdale in 1969. Zero mention of the 2 MM Days that the NYY honored him with. One was in 1965 & his final retirement ceremony came on June 8th 1969 (I ATTENDED). Zero mention of his infamous #7 being retired that day along with a plaque that would be hung on the CF wall at original Yankee Stadium. 13) Post career. Zero mention of MM being inducted in his 1st year of eligibility into the Baseball Hall of Fame along with his career life long team mate & friend Whitey Ford. That was a big deal for MM being inducted with Whitey. No mention of MM being banned from baseball along with Willie Mays by Bowie Kuhn for working at the Claridge Casino in Atlantic City. No mention of his final HR at Old Timer's Day in 1974 off Whitey Ford. 14) His death. Zero mention of MM's team mates rushing to his Dallas hospital prior to his death (he was a beloved team mate). Zero mention of him accepting Christ as his savior to Bobby Richardson (something Bobby still boasts about today.) Zero mention of the wonderful eulogies delivered by Bobby Richardson & Bob Costas. Zero mention of the monument erected in 1996 by the NYY in Monument Park after his death. It was inscribed "A great team mate". This video felt more like a subtle hit piece on MM (typical of Wikipedia hatred of Americana) & was a lame attempt to depict what MM meant to millions of baseball fans of the 1950's & 1960's. But hey...Wikipedia said so...

      I apologise if the video was not up to your standard or did not discuss the points as in-depth as you would've liked. The idea behind the channel is to create a brief 10 point summary about famous figures in history, not to provide a thorough biography. In general, I feel like the AI I used to generate the script did a good job of summarising a 7000+ word article down into a 5 minute video. I provide the wikipedia link within the description and within that article are a couple of sources discussing the child abuse claims. Again, apologies if this was not up to your standard. Thanks for commenting and sharing your points. Have a great day.

      Sorry you're so prejudiced against Wikipedia, but they are very much more reliable than you. They are required to give their sources and will delete an entry if the author doesn't properly give their sources. The source of the abuse story is listed as #6 in the references, story by the NY Times based on Jane Leavy's book. Is that enough for you? And no, his lifetime batting average is called .298, and Mantle has said that one of his regrets in his career was failing to bat .300.

Zero mention of him accepting Christ as his savior to Bobby Richardson (something Bobby still boasts about today.) Zero mention of the wonderful eulogies delivered by Bobby Richardson & Bob Costas. Zero mention of the monument erected in 1996 by the NYY in Monument Park after his death. It was inscribed "A great team mate". This video felt more like a subtle hit piece on MM (typical of Wikipedia hatred of Americana) & was a lame attempt to depict what MM meant to millions of baseball fans of the 1950's & 1960's. But hey...Wikipedia said so...

      The script is a summarisation of his Wikipedia page by AI and looks to be pretty close to me, other than missing off the 1 in his salaries early in the video. Thanks for your comment!

      This video was a half baked shallow attempt to cover the life & career of MM. Wikipedia is nothing but left wing propaganda that hates anything Americana, which for anyone growing up w/MM, he truly was an icon of the 1950's & 60's & truly Americana.

    Mutt Mantle also wanted Mickey to play MLB so he wouldn't have to work in the coal mines and die from Black Lung Disease, as the other male members of his family did.

    In addition to eighteen home runs, Mantle holds World Series records of forty RBIs, forty-two runs scored, forty-three walks, twenty-six extra base hits, and 123 total bases. In addition, he still holds the record for running from home plate to first base the fastest. 3.1 seconds.

      The first base record time was passed a long time ago by Mickey Rivers, another Yankee. Who knows who has busted it since. Of course, I never knew if his first base time was before his terrible knee injury or after. If after, it would be very interesting to have seen it on two healthy legs.

      Had he stayed healthy and injury free, who knows how many records Mantle would’ve broken. I still say he would shatter today’s stat cast records. I think he’s more powerful than Giancarlo Stanton in terms of exit velocity. I grew up watching Mickey play.

      When he was in HS he played football and bruised his leg it got infected and almost lost his leg. If it were not for penicillin given to the public you would never have heard of Mantle. Plus his father dying so young and was in the same hospital room in '51 (Mick torn knee father cancer) had to mess him up pretty good the rest of his life
