Baseball video of the day

Here is a great video of Mickey Mantles 500 homerun.

And why not add one I never heard before. This is an audio recording/interview of Dimaggio interviewing a rookie Mantle on his way from penn station to his first game.

The 500 hr video was cool to see. Mantle seems to hobble around the bases with little fanfare. The short RF porch at the Stadium I suspect was a real help for him, though I know he was a switch hitter.

There was often discussion of the Sox trading Williams for Dimaggio as each would have had more HRs playing 1/2 their games in the "other" home stadium.

As a huge fan of the history of Wrigley Field and someone who grew up watching Brickhouse and listening to Boudreau....thank you for posting this video. That is so very cool and brings back some excellent memories. My parents started taking me to games at Wrigley just a few short years after this no hitter happened so it was nice to see the park the way I remember it.
