MLB is running nostalgia video clips of Mickey Mantle as he was remembered by former opponents, team mates, and celebrities, No distinctive times were mentioned but I will check out MLB Programming this week, I was a huge Mickey Fan.
Yes, please as Rick said let us know- I do bet most here would go out of their way to watch if not record, anything on Mickey...... Who wasn't a Star Gazer of "the Commerce Comet", in His Prime....!!!
I heard about this from Scott Braun last night. These clips on the Mick I figure could possibly be presented on: MLB Central: 10 AM Eastern High Heat: 1PM Eastern Rundown: 2PM Eastern MLB Now 4: PM MLB Tonight 6PM I left out Intentional talk at 5 PM, for some reason I can't feature those two butt heads Rose & Millar featuring the Mick but who knows. To me the most likely programs would be MLB Central or the Rundown. I wonder what Mickey would have to say if he heard that "bump in the road comment" .
If you want to see a Mickey Mantle rarity go to You Tube: Teresa Brewer "I Love Mickey" I remember seeing them do this song on TV.
Mickey was my boyhood hero.......when heroes meant something. BTW, The Mick would have smashed Tex for his excuse 'bump' comment. And I would have reveled. Oh, where are those heroes today?
Just heard that Costas will be interviewing Mickey Mantles son Thusday on MLB tonight. They just showed a small presentation by Paul Simon.
No one talked about losing on those old Yankee Teams it just wasn't done. I heard Mantle simply state that when his Yankee Teams won or lost it was deserved no excuses '60 World Series excepted. Mick said that loss was unbelieveable.
