I hate the Yankees too, but I was a kid who didn't know better and the Yankees hadn't beaten the LA Dodgers in the WS yet...

his HR race to 60 in '61 with Maris turned me into a Mantle fan...he seemed happy to play, Maris seemed up-tight...

I understand.
Mantle was a Yankee, so y'know...

When the Dodgers, Yanks, and Giants were all in NY, some even tried to claim that Duke Snider was the best of the three center fielders. They were wrong.

yah...he was good...a HOF... but Mays and Mantle were better in almost every category for centerfielders: batting and defense...

and didn't tear up his knee tripping on a sprinkler head in his early prime...knee surgeries were more invasive and less successful 67 years ago...
