jsage,
That print is awesome!!!!
Mickey may have been a drunk, but he made sure you got a beautiful autograph. He was a machine. He could be almost fall down drunk and you would get a perfect signature that was flawless. Come to think of it, I really can't remember ever seeing a smeared or messy Mantle.
In comparison, today's players are pathetic. They charge you thru the nose for their sigs, sometimes even before they've proven themselves to be worth it, and you get chicken scratch.
Great stuff everyone!
OK I couldn't resist a couple more.
Both pics from Sport Magazines.
1953
1955 and probably my favorite mantle photo.
