Hawkie Harrelson one of the WORST human beings whut has lived. Just a turrible, egomanic whut sees evah body else as scum.

Overrated. He's not in the 600 home run Club - like Willie. He has less than a .300 lifetime batting average. And he was certainly no Joe D.

I grew up in Indianapolis in the 1960s, when the only baseball game we ever saw on TV was the CBS Game of the Week. The Yankees were on the GOW at least twice a month, so in the absence of major league baseball in Indy, I adopted the Yankees. Mickey was my hero. And despite all that has been revealed about him since, he is still my favorite player of all time. He was a joy to watch. I jumped ship in the Yanks when the AL adopted the DH (and when WGN began broadcasting nationally). I have been a Cubs fan for almost 50 years, but no player has ever meant as much to me as Mickey did.

I'm 72 years old. I have played and seen a lot of baseball. In my humble opinion "The Mick" was simply the greatest all around player in MLB history..................AND the most loved player by true fans. I saw him hit a homer into the right field bleachers at Old Yankee Stadium. That was 1964............I was 12 years old. Mickey sure made THIS little boy happy!!🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Love it...its a lot if fun and the timings were very good.

1:55:44 Milady was my favorite actress in this. I appreciate how everyone else pushes her body aside so she dies alone but Athos chose instead to stick with her till she passed away.

Mickey Mantle and Bo Jackson...

This is absolutely amazing! Are there more parts available thought?

fuck Mantle. he was overrated ..

Starting at 1:12:04, there's a long grey screen until 1:56:12. WHERE is this production?

Got to skip school with my Dad..to see the Mick play at Tiger Stadium..I didn’t understand much..but I noticed after hitting home run left handed he switched around right handed later in the game and hit another..Dad explained that’s one of reasons why we went to the Game to see the Yankee Great..never forgot that and tried to emulate the Mick playing backyard wiffleball

Well Dad Gum. Jest strap 'em back on, and git back in 'air. Hain't not cryin' in BASEBALL.

this is great! what a performance by the actors. and the set is well made too. the camera and sound work did a very good thing.

The mick was a drunken asshole, him and Biily Martin.

Does anybody give a shit what Harrelson thinks?! Really?!?!?!?!?!

Mickey was my boyhood idol. I watched his funeral on live TV. I believe some of it is on the internet.

I was born in 1949. My parents would visit my uncle in NY state and when always ended up in a bar. No judgment is needed, please. I watched the Yankees greats on TV, all the greats. Mantle, Maris, Yogi, and on and on. An exciting time for baseball.

moreover , a gentleman . the Bob Costas interviews are spectacularly revealing - a great American hero . rip Mick

Hawk was right up there with Harry Caray for being an entertaining announcer,plus he was informative.I miss him broadcasting the Sox games on WGN.

Read Joe Pepitone's book. Great stories about the "Mick"

Lousy audio and video. Poor quality. Bad copy.

yon gg healthy mantle greatest player ever=sorry willie, you didn't have his power- sorry babe you coudlknt field or steal bases. Tedddie ballgame-sorry-you were a good but not great fielder, nothing special on bas paths and over your career couldn't hit long ball like mickey mantle

Ha Ha 🤣 Sounds like my dad. 7:08

Great post! I'm stumped trying to find out who is the only other to have both Boston WS ring and White Sox WS ring.

A great tribute and wonderful to know that his friend Bobby Richardson let him to the Lord! Two of my heroes as a kid growing up in the late 50's and 60's.🥲

No sound.

AWFUL AUDIO

I wish that I could have seen him play. I was three years old when he retired. The stories I've heard are so incredible. And he basically did it on one good leg.

As a twelve year old, my dad took me to the 1963 World Series, game 4. With Koufax pitching, it was going to be a tough game for New York. But my hero was Mickey Mantle and I was yelling for him to hit a home run each time he came up. But sitting in the Dodgers side of the field, fans would turn around and yell at me to shut up and my dad thought we might get killed. But with the Dodgers safely ahead and Koufax pitching, we were safe for Mantle to hit one out and he did. Years later, I got to have lunch with my dad and Mantle in a little place in Oklahoma. I told him my story and we all laughed! Mickey would always be my hero in baseball but my dad will always be that for me!

I’m blessed to be an early boomer and watched many greats including #7. 👍👍💯🇺🇸

I dont know this fella - but i bet hes a good dude -

I was Billy when I did it in elementary school I think or it could’ve been early middle school. I don’t remember

I like the ship in a box!

Mickey was the type of player you just couldn't take your eyes off! So great and graceful on the field!

I love how the memories were flown in!

Bravissimo! What a fantastic performance! ...there it is!

I'm really enjoying how the lighting design naturally moves the viewer through time with the flash back vignettes between monologues. Question: which actors actually played piano? ...any of them?

I got to see him live about 15 times. I saw him hit four home runs. Two lefty, one righty, the fourth one I don’t remember. First one 1956, the last one, 1961.

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

Kenny played for the Indians

Didn't Mantle go to the Yankees spring training camp in March 1969 and decide after he got there that his body couldn't take any more? I know that he didn't announce his retirement until March 1969. I don't know if it was absolutely positively set in stone in that game against the Red Sox in September 1968 that Mantle wasn't coming back.

what is the song at the beginning called?

I can’t understand this video at all with this poor audio. The least you could’ve done is put subtitles in.

Here from the Everyone’s a Jerk podcast! That first character looks familiar! 😉

I see why EAJ picked this director as their first guest!

Here from the EAJ interview. Looks sick!

Good

The game asks a lot of its Greats as music asks a lot from theres

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.

I played drake when i did it
