I had a high school teacher who told me how he was once at a restaurant after a Yankee game in Cleveland and Billy Martin was there. He found out from the bartender what Billy was drinking and ordered him one and brought it over to him. He told Billy he just wanted to buy him a drink and was about to walk away. Billy ordered him to sit down and they chatted for a while.

My father brought me to a banquet dinner paid for by his company when I was eleven years old back in 1980. The three celebrity guests were Roger Maris, Billy Martin and Mickey Mantle. The room was fifty percent fathers and fifty percent their young children. The night began and was going well. But about two hours in Billy and Mickey were getting plastered and things started getting loud. Three hours in Mantle was drunk as a skunk and he started telling very inappropriate jokes in front of us kids. Martin had that look on his face where you didn't know if he was joking or being serious. And all the while Maris didn't have one alcoholic beverage and was a perfect gentleman and easy to approach. I think he was getting embarrassed by the other two. Nothing crazy happened. Mantle cussed and told dirty jokes. Martin looked like he was ready for a fight. Maris told baseball stories and sat back shaking is head at the two. I do remember on the way home my father telling me "listen don't go telling everything you heard to your mother. As I'm writing this I pulled out a glossy black and white autographed picture of Mantle, Martin, Maris, my father and I. A couple of days later my friend, his father and I went to Yankee Stadium. Sometime during the game my friend and I got up and started to explore the ballpark. We walked past a door that said announcer's only. At that exact moment Mel Allen flung open the door sh*t faced as can be. It was just the three of us, no security whatsoever. He had a hard time just walking and stumbled past us mumbling to himself. I've always wondered if he was just on the air since he was leaving the announcer's box. Back then there was no Internet, no rebroadcast, no KZbin to listen to when we got home.

[@vestibulate]

@donwilcox728 Mel always sounded pretty yeasty to me. No surprise he was getting hammered while on the air. As for Martin and Mantle, they were hopeless drunks with only two interests in life- baseball and booze. In Mickey's case, make that just booze. Maris always seemed like a level-headed guy.

Martin would always win initially, even when he took over a poor team. but then he would self destruct. In Oakland in early 80s he burned out the arms of the young pitchers he had. he was a raving alcoholic and brought on a lot of the trouble he got into. was a helluva manager though

What??? He had 2 great years with the Yankees in 76 and 77 and 1 great year with the Twins in 69. Then the rest of his career was blah with some good seasons and some bad. He ended up with a .553 win percentage for his career. Which comes out to 86 wins a year. Which is good, but not great

Actually, Mickey Mantle and company were a bunch of drunks and party goers. Don Larsen, who pitched the only perfect game in the history of WS was lower than the average MLB pitcher.

Billy Martin had to be the most outrageous person in MLB history. In 1974 when he was manager of the Texas Rangers he was suspended for a few games. When a manager is under suspension I don't believe he is allowed to be in the dugout or in the club house. In one Rangers game while under suspension he walked into the dugout wearing a suit and tie and sunglasses. He then walked out onto the field and up to the pitchers mound to speak to Fergie Jenkins who was pitching that day. He was as controversial as they come.

As a Red Sox fan I respect the hell out of Billy Martin he was a good Manager even tho he was before my time I seen a lot of his videos he is fun to watch.

[@richmartin1427]

I wish Lindsay from Closecallsports could do a video on this talking about the mechanics of who’s call this is.

[@johnmontonye9660]

Those were the days

[@InChristalone737]

Billy wrote the manual on how to argue with the umpires

[@ronniebishop2496]

Did Billy ever see Angel Hernandez ? Hahahahaha he’d kill him.

[@billlozier5551]

Why hasn't there been a movie made on Billy Martin?

[@revinevan87]

Rich Garcia? I think he made it up to the Yankees in the 96ALCS. Maybe that's why he blew the call on fan interference.

[@wilsonblauheuer6544]

I love listening to the fans egg the manager on

[@gspainting11]

Billy Martin a true Yankee!!

[@swaugertim]

I wonder if the umpires could smell whiskey on billy's breath.

[@unappealingundesirable2826]

Billy Martin is deceased, my classmate told me in 11th grade (I was born in Seattle in 1973).

[@GetBenched2010]

The last time Billy was kicked out of a game.

[@bigoldinosaur]

This ejection is right up there with one of Lou Piniella's ejections.
