Message: [QUOTE="ThetaZoo, post: 3580185, member: 328"] I was 6 or 7 and the year was probably '56 or '57 when I went to my first game at Yankee Stadium. Mickey Mantle hits a ground rule double to center or left center which was a prodigious shot in the old stadium. Everyone jumps up out of their seats except me because I don't react that way in big moments. The lady sitting next to me says, 'do you know who that is?' as she grabs the back of my shirt and pulls me up. Of course I knew who that was. He was my very first sports hero and if she knew how I revered Mantle she wouldn't have asked the question. [/QUOTE]
