I've been a Yankee's fan since the mid 50's. I worshiped the ground he walked on The greatest Yankee I've ever seen play

Mickey Mantle was before my time. Even so, when I hear his name it’s as American as apple pie. Seemed like a genuine guy who just struggled with many of the same issues I do. Rest in peace sir.

On the day he passed away (August 13, 1995) the amateur collegiate summer league AAABA tournament started in Johnstown, PA. Upon hearing the news of Mantle’s passing the American flag in centerfield was lowered to half-mast. It remained there for the rest of the tournament. I was there. I saw it.

I admire him so much for his honesty and vulnerability in this interview. That does not excuse the horrible mistakes along the way. You can tell how much he hurts when he speaks of his boys. He was before my time but my Dad said he was an unreal talent. The film doesn't lie. I sincerely respect him for the courageous gestures he made later in life. We lost this mighty Yankee way too soon.

Sadly, Mickey died about three months after I was born (at 63 years old). Without that being said, he was able to kick SO much ass on his bad days and do better than what most sober guys did well on their good days. I’m going by what I’ve heard and have seen in the movie 61.

Typical Costas. Only New York matters, and only New York has heroes. Not St. Louis, Chicago, Detroit, or Cleveland. Even Mickey is awkward listening to this loser. He doesn't want to BE here.

what a rude comment- i always thought there was a lot of sadness about you- dude, every male member of his family had died before the age of 40 from cancer, plus he played every day for 18 years with intense pain in both legs

Growing up in the 50's and 60's Mickey was a baseball icon to me. My heart feels for him since I lost my son Derek at the age of 24. A man has his limits and losing a child is beyond comprehension. God bless you Mickey. You will always be a hero to me.

Back in 1962 in Florida watching spring training with my dad I was a kid asking for autographs as the players arrived for a game. Got Elston Howard and Yogi Berra. Asked Mr. Mantle for his and he ignored me. Never forgot that.

One of the people he let down was Casey Stengel, who didn’t hide the fact that he felt Mickey should have had a much greater career, but had squandered it with his irresponsible lifestyle.
