Mickey Mantle was friends with my dad in the 80’s -90’s.  My dad spent a lot of time with him, mostly golfing and the times I did I never once saw him without a drink in his hand.  We were at his restaurant in NYC with him when I was in high school and he let me wear one of his World Series rings at dinner for about an hour because he was signing autographs/shaking hands and I was terrified and he just said don’t drop it.  When he called our house he would say “this is Mick, where is the a-whole”.  Was always genuinely nice to me and always asked if I had any jokes I just heard and he always laughed no matter how stupid and would say something like “I like you kid no matter what your dad thinks of you.“  We have lots of cool things from him and random stuff he would sign thinking it was funny, makes me happy to give them to my kids and tell them how I got them.  Met Whitey Ford a few times too through him.

I also met the Archy/Eli Manning though Cooper when he was in working on the sell side in Louisiana and can honestly say are some of the nicest human beings on the planet.
