Posted By: <b>Anthony N.</b><p>A testament to Joe D's patience would be his strikeout to homerun ratio- almost even, pretty unheard of in today's game.<br />Didn't he run off another streak right after Keltner stopped him at 56 that would've made it around 80 games or so?

Posted By: <b>John Kalafarski</b><p>There are seven best of the best. Ruth, Williams, Cobb, Mays, Wagner, Mantle, DiMaggio. I was privileged to see Ted, Mickey, and Willie quite a bit, being born in 1945. I saw Ted and Mickey square off at Fenway many times. Anyone who thinks Mantle is overrated wasn't as lucky as I was to have seen him play. As a Sox fan from birth, it was impossible to dislike the Mick. How many tools can a player have? Mickey had them all. As far as $600,000 for a card; well, the world is mess up.

Posted By: <b>Ted Zanidakis</b><p>Thanks for echoing my sentiments regarding Mantle in an earlier post on this thread.....<br />"Anyone who thinks Mantle is overrated wasn't as lucky as I was to have seen him play."<br /><br />I find that most of the "Mantle skeptics" never actually saw he play....as you and I did. But,<br /> there are many books written on Mantle and videos that they can avail themselves of and<br /> be informed.<br /><br />TED Z

Posted By: <b>Ted Zanidakis</b><p>1941 was a great season for BB fans. Ted Williams hitting for .406.....and, of course that last day of the season<br /> Joe Cronin suggested to Ted to sit it out....being that Ted's BA was .3996. Instead, Ted hit 6 for 8 in a double-<br />header that day.<br /><br />And, speaking about Joe D's low career strikeout statistic....in 1941 he struck out only 13 times. That has to be<br /> an all-time single-season record low for 500+ AB's by a power hitter.<br /><br />TED Z
