I'm way too young to have seen players like Mantle or Mays play, but am nontheless caught up in their mystique. These Home Run Derby DVDs are pretty cool. The first four matches of Volume One are pure gold:
Mantle vs. Mays
Mantle vs. Banks
Mantle vs. Jensen
Mantle vs. Killebrew
Maybe some of you are old enough to remember watching this on TV? Mantle comes off incredibly shy and uncomfortable in front of the camera, but man, when he smiles, the camera loves him. Totes adorbs I believe is the expression the kids use nowadays.
Anyway, just thought I'd share in case someone has never seen them or knew of their existence. Pretty neat and worth a watch. I picked up volumes 1, 2 and 3 a while back. And fairly cheap if I remember correctly.
