Brian, I trust my memory only so far so I looked up the attack on Piersall. September 10, 1961, my 12 th birthday. Doubleheader vs Cleveland. What I got wrong was Piersall was in center, the fans came from right field line area, and Mantle came to his aid from first, not he dugout. Anyway, it was amazing.
According to an online account Piersall decked one of the guys and, although not mentioned in the article, I recall Mantle kicking the other guy in the ass. The article also mentioned Piersall's father had died just 5 days before.
