    Yet another reason to be proud of the picture of Mickey hanging on my wall.

    If that is indeed accurate, that may be the best letter ever written.

    Somehow, that didn't make it into Costas's eulogy.

    I can see the single tear from the trash commercial thirty years ago now trailing down the cheek of little Bobby Costas!

    Meanwhile, Commissioner Bud Selig is contemplating taking posthumous action against Mantle using his "best interests of baseball" power.
