"They don't make them like the Mick anymore."
Saw this on Daring Fireball. The Yankees sent Mantle a letter in 1973 asking him to describe his "outstanding experience" at Yankee Stadium, in "as much detail as possible." He complied. Not for the easily offended.

Letters of Note: Mickey Mantle's outstanding experience at Yankee Stadium

Hilarious. Mick was often too candid for his own good.

Every biography I've read indicates he was a helluva interview.

Says right field, but sounds like third base.

One of the few Yankees I liked.

I have always had a liking for Maris and Mantle.

It is also funny that no matter the place or time, any time he heard the name Babe Ruth his response was always... "betcha I got more p***y than he did."
