Saw this on Daring Fireball. The Yankees sent Mantle a letter in 1973 asking him to describe his "outstanding experience" at Yankee Stadium, in "as much detail as possible." He complied. Not for the easily offended.

Hilarious. Mick was often too candid for his own good.

Every biography I've read indicates he was a helluva interview.

" *The All-American Boy "

So true.

One of the few Yankees I liked.

I have always had a liking for Maris and Mantle.

Mickey was awesome

It is also funny that no matter the place or time, any time he heard the name Babe Ruth his response was always... "betcha I got more p***y than he did."
