[QUOTE=Peter_Spaeth;2051192]According to Paul Simon, he was writing about Mantle, HIS hero, but it didn't work as a song.[QUOTE]
"Where have you gone, Mickey Mantle" wouldn't quite work, because not only was he still an active ballplayer when the song was written, but his last name just doesn't jingle-jangle along like 'DiMaggio'. Perhaps if his last name were instead 'Mantilo'. As in "Where have you gone, Mickey Mantilo" Brian (always looking for reasons to change HOF player's last names)
