The differing opinions, with all due respect, are based on conjecture, what ifs and mere possibilities. If you gave Aaron, Mays and Williams Mantle's team, there is no way anyone can say that they would've done the same.... Its possible, but there are no guarantees... No one can argue that. So it's just wishful thinking, nothing more.
Mantle did it, those other players did not.
Bottom line, I'm basing this on facts, not what might have been.
The same can't be said for the differing opinions.
Hard facts always trump conjecture....

Ok then, in 6 of his 12 World Series Mantle batted under .250. In two others he batted .250.
Those are the facts.
I would say that in those 8 series his performance wasn't helping the team.
in 1962,3 and 4 Tom Tresh outperformed him in the series.
