I'm a Chicago Cub fan but back in my youth we had neighbors who were White Sox fans and every year from about 1961 through 1964 we had seats right behind the White Sox dugout at old Comiskey Park to see the Yankees. Mantle, Maris ,Berra, Ford, Howard. Great players all. I'm blessed that I got to see them play.
That was a great upload and thank you so much, baseball bring me so many memories and i learn that game on the good ole radio or the portable radio !!!
As a young boy "The Mick" was my idol..He,Yogi and the boys were so much fun to watch..Most people hated the Yankees because they won every year..But I loved them..They showed what it took to win..
So many American boys growing up in the 1950s idolized The Mick + Yogi + Whitey + The Moose.....and yes the Yanks were the most loved and most hated .....and sooo much fun to watch.....and like our Bone Daddy (the original Sportsphile) who recorded our massive vintage video library that we are in process of posting on our site at www.imasportsphile.com....where currently 2500 of our 12,000 total vintage videos are currently posted....and if you check out our Baseball Section, you will find a plethora of Yankee videos well worth watching.... plus in our Memorabilia Section, we have many of Bone Daddy's outstanding Yankee baseball card collection.... which sports a wonderful gathering of Yankee players cards from 1949 to 1991.....as we are in process of posting each team year by year....and we think you will enjoy the memories that this collection brings.
Well said, and since you are obviously a Yankee fan, you will most certainly enjoy the many many vintage Yankees videos currently posted in our baseball section at www.imasportsphile.com
Or his back, or wrist, or elbow, or his other knee, have you ever seen the 1963 poster of Mantle with arrows pointing to all of the surgeries and injuries he had? It covered his entire body.
The story comes down that before EVERY game he had to go into the trainers room and spend 30-40 minutes getting wrapped up from his ankles to his waist.
@Brian T - yeah I heard of Bonds & McGuire & Sosa. They all used drugs to enhance their performance , all three are subpar players next to Maris. That record still belongs to Roger & it shall remain that way until someone comes along that can break the record without performance enhancement drugs.
Dave Helm, thanks for the comment....and glad you liked one of the 1700 vintage sports, comedy and music videos that have been posted at www.imasportsphile.com over the past year and a half....and with 9,000 more to be posted, we recommend you bookmark our site....do not rely on utube....for we have 100 different tube channels that we use as "video weigh stations" for the 2300 hrs. of vintage content we are posting in it's entirety on our site....so, you will surely miss some "nuggets of gold" from our treasure chest of vintage "memories" if you don't bookmark us and visit regularly…cuz we post new old videos almost every day.
People forget that JD was injured many times in his great career. He also missed 3 years during his prime years to the Army. Plus God knows how many more home runs he would have hit if not for playing in depth Valley in the only stadium.
I was 11 in 1961 and they were my hero’s and why not, they had it all and did it all. But Babe Ruth still holds the highest slugging percentage in history and sports fans that’s the tops of the bottom line.
Mick hits a walk off homer to win a World Series game he runs the bases doesn’t look at the pitcher it may as well been a regular season game in June. Todays ball players jump up and when they hit a Homer when their team is down 10-0 lol
They seemed to have forgotten to include the 1958 Yankees that beat the Milwaukee Braves in the 1958 world series and the San Francisco Giants in the 1962 world series. I grew up in New York City and am a lifelong Yankee fan. I have now lived in Miami, Florida for about 19 years. When Yankee haters here say that I should root for the Marlins I tell them they're out of their minds. Since I've been a Yankee fan I've been alive to watch the Yankees win 9 of their 27 world championships. It would be like me stopping being a Beatles fan and all the sudden listen to K pop. The Beatles of course are the world's greatest band.
I was a Dodger fan starting in 1959. I watched the game in person when the Dodger drew one of the biggest if not the biggest crowds in baseball history at the Coliseum. If I recall it was a double header and the Dodgers lost both games. Around 70 thousand I think.. Long time ago.
DiMaggio got JFK's used goods....and albeit that he was pure baseball....he wasn't The Mick....who even on severely damaged legs was every bit as "pure" as Joe D.
You will never have teams that strong again because of free agency and salary caps. You would never be able to keep all of those great players on the same team.
fastest player ever who's speed is lessened by a groundskeeping problem? jesus.... When Ichiro was taking the league by storm, on our local broadcast, Tom Hamilton asked Herb Score who was faster, Ichiro or Mantle? Score said 'Mantle' and remarked that tho Ichiro could fly, it wasn't that close
PorkFrog, thanks for your comment.....I just love sports fans who have an opinion and like to express it....if you enjoyed this video check out the 1300 videos I have posted at www.imasportsphile.com .....and keep checking in over the next couple of years.....as I have another 2000 hours of sports, comedy and music left to post. The truth is we never got to see The Mick at full speed.....as he had been cut on so many times by the time he got to MLB
Mantle said the DiMaggio waited until the last moment to call for the ball and that’s why he had to stop so suddenly and caught his spikes in the open drain. DiMaggio didn’t tell Mantle to make the catch. Stengel had told Mantle to take anything hit between him and DiMaggio because Joe couldn’t run very well by 1951.
It’s a common misconception that the Yankee dynasty ended in 1965 because all their best players suddenly got old at the same time. It simply is not true! The 1965 Yankees were not an old team at all. The Yankees collapse was caused by serious injuries to their star players - not to age at all! Consider: in the 1965 season, Mantle was 33, Maris 31, Richardson 30, Boyer 29, Kubek 28, Tresh 25, Pepitone 24. Howard was 37, the oldest refuting player. The starting pitchers were Ford 36, Bouton 26, Downing 24, Stotlemeyer 24. An old team? Hardly. And this was the same starting lineup that won the pennant in 1964. So what happened between 1964 and 1965? Simple. Howard, Maris, Kubek, Mantle all seriously injured and none would really recover. In 1966, Ford and Bouton were also injured and they fell to last place.
Years later I heard an interview that Bobby Richardson gave and he suggested it wasn't surprising that the 65 team went in a downward crash he really felt "looking back" that the '64 team-which fell out of 1st place for a time-was not that good but the veterans know how to win.
Tell the Mexican that 1951 they didn’t have the technology that they have today and never completely fixed his knee until 1986 .Read the book The Last Boy ! Mexico
Tommy Heinrich passed away in 2009 at the age of 96. He was the last surviving teammate of Lou Gehrig.
Reporter mispronounced Ol Reliable s name…like he s never known who he was

@M So is the merit of a sport based on popularity?

This was really good. Great info and respectfully presented
Casey and Torre were perfect fits with great talent... they knew how to direct them without disrupting the chemistry 👍
Well said, and since you are obviously a Yankee fan, you will most certainly enjoy the many many vintage Yankees videos currently posted in our baseball section at www.imasportsphile.com
Casey blew the 1960 World Series.
@@howie9751 hello Ralph Houk😀, nevertheless 1949 thru 1958 Casey was nearly perfect…simply incredible ..cheers 🍻
Can you imagine how great Mantle would have been if he hadn’t hurt his knee?
@Melo Bryant yeah probably
Duh
Or his back, or wrist, or elbow, or his other knee, have you ever seen the 1963 poster of Mantle with arrows pointing to all of the surgeries and injuries he had? It covered his entire body.
The story comes down that before EVERY game he had to go into the trainers room and spend 30-40 minutes getting wrapped up from his ankles to his waist.
BOTH knees. he almost had the other amputated after developing a bone infection in his other knee after being cleated on it in high school football
Roger Maris- after all these years, still the home run king.
Great franschise.
Great dynasty.
@Brian T - yeah I heard of Bonds & McGuire & Sosa. They all used drugs to enhance their performance , all three are subpar players next to Maris. That record still belongs to Roger & it shall remain that way until someone comes along that can break the record without performance enhancement drugs.
@Kathryn Kirks
Spam much?
Maris is not the home run king, Bonds is. BARRY BONDS. Accept it, or it will destroy you !!
Great video - thank you.
Love you Mick
Praying you rest in peace and enjoying a beautiful Heavenly reward. God bless all from Patrick
Thanks...
Born and bred in Miami, OK. Mickey Mantle really and truly was an icon of his time #GOAT

Walter Smokey Alston ..... my neighbor in DARRTOWN OHIO FROM 76 to 84 when he passed away pretty cool 😎
Oh and 4 Time world champion Alston and hall of gamer 1984
Mantle wasn't from Miami, OK.
People forget that JD was injured many times in his great career. He also missed 3 years during his prime years to the Army. Plus God knows how many more home runs he would have hit if not for playing in depth Valley in the only stadium.
Absolutely ..
dont cry for joe, mickey played on two crippled knees for 18 yrs and go no sympathy

What's that got to do with the video?
DiMaggio was pure baseball. Goddamn imagine that, playing for the Yankees and knocking off Marilyn Monroe, all in one lifetime
DiMaggio got JFK's used goods....and albeit that he was pure baseball....he wasn't The Mick....who even on severely damaged legs was every bit as "pure" as Joe D.
He got her first. It is the other way around.
@@rssempresas128
Joe was nailing Marilyn while JFK was still chasing interns in Congress.
"...here in the house that Ruth built that was demolished."
😢 mickey Mantle so long

There is no salary cap in baseball
Mickey was from SPAVINAW,OK NOT Miami.
Isn't he from Commerce Oklahoma? 4:52
The BOSS was the BEST!!!!! Belongs in the HOF.
Who is the reporter at the beginning?

In the Mantle-Maris days, and prior, the baseballs were hadn stitched and guys didn't roid up.
"...Stars like DiMaggio and Hine-rick..." He obviously never heard of "old reliable" Tommy Henrich.
Oouuu
So important.
