dennisthey pitched around mantle with men on base.NO TEAM let mantle beat them. don't lets stats sway you.mantle was one of the best players ever.he was a switch hitter, he was faster than mays,more powerful than mays,got on base more than mays,and was mays peer as a fielder. also mantles teams WON because of him. he led the league in runs scored all thru the 1950's and even tho his rbi's were not high,he was top 5 every year.it was a different era. any one who says mantle was over-rated just never saw him play. check out his appearences on the leader board. hall of fame moniter he is # 15 all time. http://www.baseball-reference.com/m/mantlmi01.shtml
