The answer to that part of your statement is 100% yes. I do 100% believe he would write anything you wanted if you paid him to do so. I have seen Mantle write all sorts of things, both appropriate and not, over and over again. The man had no filter often times.
If you want an example of how inappropriate he could be, just look at the questionnaire from the 1973 Old timers/Yankee Stadium celebration he filled out. It was Sold Last year for $242K in Lelands auction.

Certainly, If her could write that to the Yankees, even as a joke, he could write things about Joe D, especially if he was being paid.
