A little off topic compared to the price talk but I am a lifelong Yankees fan and my father grew up right outside NYC in the Mantle days.
I always considered Mays top 4 all time but
It is only very recently I've come to appreciate what an amazing player he really was.
It was this past year that I realized he actually missed all but 20ish games in his 2nd and what would have been 3rd years in the Majors due to the Korean War. He hit 41 home runs his 1st season back.
With that missing time he very easily could have eclipsed 714.
How did I not know that and how is it not talked about more?
