Adam, you obviously never met Mantle in person. I had the displeasure of meeting him on numerous occassions. Even when he wasn't a drunken sot, he was a total ass. I can't recall a single pleasurable moment when I encounted Mantle. Mays may have a bad rep as being unsurly, but if you got him away from the autograph signings, he was a very pleasant person to sit and talk with.
