I was born in 78
I wasn't that fortunate to have seen him play or even recollect a time i should have went to a signing. I really started to collect Mantle around 2008 when i re-entered the hobby. I was stationed in Alaska at the time and it pretty much helped me get through that 3 year tour. My baseball guy growing up was Ryno. When i started back up again (wanted to collect an icon) so i basically picked him and the rest is history. I've read and have seen almost anything he's been in or on. I guess what led me more into him was his history with alcohol and what not. Growing up with an alcoholic father i could relate to his story and past. Call it weird or what not. Cool thread. Nothing like seeing these sorts of threads about a great guy. PS: cool stories so far from everyone who has shared.
