Mickey was the Babe Ruth of my generation and we all know he had his problems but to this day we do not care or judge him. We only love him.

Baseball was so magical and mythical back in the 60s and early 70s when I was growing up in Trenton NJ, almost halfway between Yankee Stadium and Connie Mack Stadium). Mythical in the sense that the names of the likes of Babe Ruth or Lou Gehrig seemed like a writers creation with stats and achievements that seemed mythical to me, being that I was never witness to their greatness, with their tales of greatness only bring conveyed to me by my father, who grew up during their heydays. I would love to ask my father who was better, Williams or DiMaggio, and he would say they were both great, and I would argue to him that Williams had much better career numbers, and my father (who was first a Yankees fan, and second a Phillies fan) would invariably just say that DiMaggio was a damn great player. That magical and mythical time started fading towards the end of the 70s to the point it’s non existent today because of greed of both the players side and the owners side. Up until 15 years ago, the Phillies would televise most away games and EVERY Sunday afternoon games on free OTA TV (channel 17 in Philly), Today, you have to buy some MLB package. This is alienating youngsters from watching baseball and will eventually lead to the demise of baseball as we know it. It’s already started with the designated hitter now in both leagues and extra innings beyond the 11th inning will be almost non existent because of starting with a player on 2nd base in extra innings.

I remember as a preteen and teenager listening to Frank Messer announce Yankee games on the New York based WPIX channel 11. I was listening and watching on my TV in Trenton NJ using rabbit ears pointed in the direction of NYC.

This NEVER GETS OLD... it was the underdog story playing out on the big screen... not Ruth, Mantle, Maris, or Gherig... it was a lite-hitting shortstop who created one of the greatest moments in Yankees history... hitting the ball over the Green Monster sucking the air out of Fenway Park on the way to the Fall Classic...

I've been a Yankees fans since 1975. If I were to rank the Yankees top 10 post-season HRs since that time, I'd say; 1. Bucky Dent's 3-run HR in the one game Playoff at Fenway Park in Boston in 1978. 2. Jim Leyritz 3-run HR in Game 4 of the 1996 WS against the Braves to tie the game at 6-6 in the 8th inning. 3. Reggie Jackson's 3rd HR of Game 6 against the Dodgers in the 1977 WS 4. Aaron Boone's extra inning blast in Game 7 against the Red Sox to cap a dramatic comeback and send the Yankees to the WS. 5. Chris Chambliss series clinching HR vs. the Royals in the 1976 ALCS. 6. Scott Brosius two out 9th inning HR to tie the game against the Diamondbacks in Game 5 of the 2001 WS. 7. Derek Jeter's Mr. November extra inning HR to win Game 5 against the Diamondbacks (same game). 8. Thurman Munson's go-ahead HR vs. the Royals in Game 3 of the 1978 ALCS. 9. Jim Leyritz 15th inning HR against Seattle in the 1995 Divisional Series. 10. Tino Martinez Grand Slam vs. San Diego in the 1998 WS to ignite a Game 1 comeback.

In his early years, there was nobody faster from home to first base. Great great athlete. Every kid wanted to be like Mickey. Later in his career, it was common for him to be "over served" during the game.

Not true. Look at the video, it's right there. He came back surrounded by security, but in full uniform sans his cap/helmet, and steps on the area where home plate once sat. He's then brought back to the dugout.

I wax watching this with my dad. He hated the Yankees and loved the Red Sox for that reason. The only team he hated more was the Dodgers. He never got over them leaving Brooklyn. When Dent hit it, I jumped up and went crazy! My dad just sat there saying: I don’t believe it!” Over and over. When the World Series started, he actually hoped the Yankees would win. Knowing the history of the game, I understand his hate for the Dodgers, the NY Giants-Brooklyn Dodgers rivalry was probably the most intense rivalry in sports in the early days and of course the Yankees in the World Series meeting either one made it more intense if possible. The Red Sox-Yankees rivalry used to be that intense. Now, not so much since neither has done much since 2009! I currently hate the new rules, especially extra innings and the pitch-batter clocks! Baseball is not football but it seems the owners don’t care. I also hate interleague play. It lessens the World Series. I love MLB and hate what it has been turned into!
