Ted, Guys,

It took Yaz a long time before he was accepted by the Red Sox fans.

Also Mantle was an important reason why Roger Maris was able to break Ruth's single season home run record. By batting after Roger in the Yankees lineup he insured that Roger would see good pitchs to hit. As a consequence Roger was walked a lot fewer times than either McGwire or Bonds in their record breaking years.
