I grew up watching Mantle roam the outfield in Yankee Stadium. Nobody like him when he was healthy.
I remember one game where he hit 3 balls over 440 feet and they were all caught by Albie Pearson for outs!!! Another time, he hit a monster blast that bounced over the high wall at the 457-foot sign for a ground-rule double. By the time the ball got into the bleachers, Mantle had rounded third base and was headed home, and the umpires made him go back to second. God, how i loved The Mick. |
