my 79 year old father and i agree with you on this topic. race was 100% part of the problem then. not calling anyone racist but times were quite diff then.
many people who pushed mantle to his current prices were / are baby boomers. mays and aaron never received the PR they deserved then and still today.
i do think mantle playing in NY and the yanks playing on all those WS def helped since that meant more tv footage was saved.
