Are you serious ?

Your comment is way out of whack......."Not the dominating numbers you expect to see."
Comparing Batting Averages is utterly ridiculous, as Tim very astutely just pointed out.

Judging from your latest post...I guess you did not pay much attention to my earlier post on this thread. I will repeat
it for you, in terms of the most DOMINATING NUMBERS in Mantle's World Series record that are more meaningful than
any other #s......

HR's.......18.......1st in Majors

RUNs......42.......1st in Majors

RBIs.......40.......1st in Majors

HITs.......59.......2nd in Majors

WALKs....43.......1st in Majors

I saw Mantle play from his rookie year (1951) to his last year (1968). My memories of his playing days are very clear.
And, if you did not see him play, you will never really appreciate what he did for the game, and his contribution to all
those Yankees victories (which you have now diminished).

Tell us, what other BB team in the string of any 16 years has won that many League Championships and World Series
(1949 to 1964) ? ?
