I took out this short clip about Mickey Mantle from a longer documentary about Ken 'the Hawk' Harrelson. I was amazed, but not surprised, at how genuine his affection and admiration was for The Mick, an affection and admiration that was shared by everyone who knew him. The volume is really low, so crank it up.

    Mickey was the only idol I had other then my father. I cried the day he died. The little boy in me died that day. I was 45. ❤

    Mickey Mantle all most always hit his home runs at critical times when the games was on the line.None of these when your up by 10 or down by 10. HE WAS THE MAN.

    I loved mickey mantle. I wept uncontrollably the day he died. I was a 45yr old man then. It came from someplace deep inside of me.

    Best thing is ... The Mick found Jesus and got saved.

    Mickey was loved by us, and untold millions, who shared that same feeling for this magnificent man!

    Mickey has always been my favorite ball player, and always will. I was lucky to have seen him play.

    Mickey was an idol because he was great, Mickey was a legend because of what he could have been.

    What a great video. Thanks for posting. Forget his faults, or maybe because of them. And, forget the comparisons to Mays and DiMaggio etc. It's hard to put ones finger on it, but to me, and throngs of others, the Mick "was baseball" and the most magical baseball player of our generation.

    I can remember in 4th grade getting so excited seeing him on a Friday night game at the stadium. Is that him Dad? Yes!

    I was a Yankees fan my whole life and what got me interested in baseball was the 1961 season. Love me some Mickey Mantle ❤😂

    Harrelson is a great storyteller. Loved Hawk as Red Sox broadcaster teamed with Dick Stockton.

    Almost impossible to hear what he's saying, but if you can hear him, it's worth listening. Very cool.
