Hank was really only a liability the final 3 seasons of a 23 year career. That's 20 straight seasons as a dominating power hitter with no injuries. You can't say that about Mantle or Mays.

Mickey's OPS+ his last three years: 170, 149, 143 - right around or exceeding Hank's career OPS+. So when he "fell off a cliff", Mickey dropped way down and... landed at Hank's average. Not bad.
