There should be a law saying this man must do every World Series broadcast until he is unable. to do so - knowledge, dignity, analysis and an unparalleled intimacy with the game and its participants. And that voice!

Bob Costas is the greatest broadcaster ever...my opinion after watching the other greats as Pat Summerall, Madden, Jim Nance, Joe Buck, etc.

Mickey’s introspection may have shown personal weakness to him but to me, he was legendary.⚾️

ME too & he was the best ever. I am 80 yr old, loved watching that great almost school boy smiling Mick. The Mick. I still have sadness when I hear esp. his friend Bob Costas talk re Mick. My brother just talked about the Mick and the Yankees. Isn't it great when someone we never met, well, they are part of our lives until we die.

It’s a deep truth…too often we waste what comes so natural to us..but God touched Mickey to help heal his soul prior to leaving this world

Isn't it ironic that the player who caused Mickey's worst injury that he never fully recovered from was his greatest competitor in that era, Willie Mays, who hit the pop up that egotistical Joe DiMagio called Mickey off. DiMagio was jealous of Mickey because Mickey was getting a lot of attention and DiMagio was used to being the center of attention!

Jeez, we get the top veteran and Grant is definitely on his way to being the best sport journalists, and sure enough we get our ticket to one of the best greatest sports story starring one of the most beloved and talented athletes of all time-#7 Mickey Mantle…talk about greatness and we get the trifecta!

@trock6577 11 ай бұрын

Great story. Mickey was acutely aware of his failures. He knew he had the talent to be a top 3 player of all time and he screwed it up.

I think it was his hurt legs that limited mantle more than anything. The drinking may have killed him but when he was playing it might've just balanced him out. Look at Babe Ruth.

Mickey had injuries, like Griffey, like Trout. First of all it was the Yankee's organization that continued to have a freaking drain out there in the outfield, that started his injury prone career. I think Mickey is still legend

@tommyfu9271 4 ай бұрын

He definitely wished he didn't get hurt on the drain but I don't think he regretted it bc it was beyond his control. He regretted all of the drinking and not taking good care of himself. Mantle said he never expected to live a long time bc all of the men in his family died young. It turned out they died young from working in the coal mines not from anything genetic.

The sad thing is that injury he suffered very early in his career really affected him for he rest of his baseball career. The city life just ate him up and once he got taste of the booze, women, and night life he became an addict that eventually killed his liver and him. He essentially drank himself to death. For Stan, at least he got to live for a long long time. 92 is a long life to live and nobody ever said a bad thing about him and he never let the night life consume him whole like it did with Mickey.

I always wondered how much that horrible injury had to do with him drinking. Just the day to day pressure of wondering if today was the day that the knee gives out again...and that would be it. Baseball was his life and livelihood.
