1966 outside the St Moritz in Manhattan where Mantle stayed during the season. I had a full page picture from Sport Magazine of Mickey and Casey already signed by Casey. Mickey comes out and I am super nervous and courteous and he is standing out front. I go up and say Mr mantle can you plase sign this picture which I show him. He spits his tobacco in my face and walks off. I cry all the way home. That being said Mantle and Aaron were my ownly horror stories of my 1966-1968 in person autogrph ventures at the NYC hotels

I think that's part of the reason why once the show circuit started, Mantle was so willing to sign. I know he expressed a lot of regrets towards the end of his life, especially after the cancer diagnoses.
Still that's no excuse for what he did, to a kid no less. It'd make me never like him, if I had that personal experience.

I'm pretty sure there were also some ground rules, which included not spitting tobacco juice in kids' faces. Last edited by perezfan; 01-25-2021 at 03:35 PM. |
