I don't know why Mantle did what he did but I have an interesting observation about Stengel.
Stengel almost never signed Yankee team balls. I have a 1957 ball that I am offering and it contains a clubhouse Stengel signature, even a clubhouse Stengel signature is rare. Yet, every team ball I have seen when he managed the Mets has a nice Stengel autograph.
I think that is a revealing insight into Stengel but I don't quite know what to make of it.
He liked to manage the Mets but not the Yankees??
