Message: [QUOTE="Bestiarius, post: 2357172, member: 1939"] Apparently, doctors were in awe of Mantle's muscle bulk and strength. Many of his problems stemmed from the violence of his swing causing his muscles to tear from his bones. Just too powerful for his skeletal system. Joe DiMaggio's jealousy is blamed for Mantle stepping into a drain hole in center field when he called Mantle off of a fly ball that was rightly Mantle's to handle. Joe hated Mantle for taking his job in center field. [/QUOTE]
