    That meddling snopes. Can't they leave well enough alone?
     
  2. I worked at a comic book store in the early '90s. Mickey frequented this Chinese restaurant a few doors down. I was in there one day picking up a to go order and Mickey was on his way out. The exchange went something like this:

    Me: Mr. Mantle.
    Mickey: What the hell do you want?
    Me: I just wanted to shake your hand. Never mind.

    I thought to myself "What a cocksucker." After reading that letter I guess I was wrong.

    Well, as someone said in an earlier post, if it isn't true, it should be.

    When I first read his answer I took "by the Yankee bullpen" to mean something else entirely.

    Damn I miss the good old days when baseball was a good, clean, wholesome way for an American family to enjoy a weekend afternoon.

    A buff and wax at Yankee Stadium? Who hasn't done that? I just didn't get my spit shine in the bullpen.

    Best story ever! Mickey was my dad's hero, so of course he needed to read this right away.

    I'll always love that line from 61: "I love a girl with small hands, makes mi d**k look bigger." Awesome.

    Who doesn't? Especially when they slob you down while looking into your eyes for approval. At best, all you can say is that old Christmas carol: "Oh come, all yea faithful, JOYFUL AND TRIUMPHANT!"
