Whitey Ford had 22 starts before having a loss. Imagine that.

And he could do it soused.

Through 5, Tocci has our only hit.

Mantle has some entertaining stories.

Mickey was a story....A story of stories actually.....And I had an opportunity to meet him and have a couple of conversations.......No great shakes, nor was anything accomplished though....ha

Quote from Mickey.....'He who has the fastest golf cart never has to worry about the lie.'

Quite again tonight

The dog days and being 15 games under .500 will have that effect sometimes.

 

[DT LUNA]

Got a break there

 

[Duane1952]

That was a terrible strike call on Beltre.

Dog days for sure. No rain. Lot of fires

Mantle has some entertaining stories.

Him and Pat Summerall. He said they were not good for each other back in their playing days (Mantle-Yankees and Summerall-NY Giants). They both had liver transplants but Mantle's was not successful as a result of their heavy drinking. But both lives were changed in the end.

 

[BULLPEN FAILURE]

To the 11th

He was an incredible athlete but his knees did him in. Ran like the wind, hit, field, throw, you name it and I hated the Yankees. But give credit to where credit is due. Got to see him play.
