I can attest to that fact.

Back in the mid 60s I used to caddy at White Beeches Country Club in Haworth, NJ. Yogi Berra was a member and he used to bring his Yankee teammates that lived nearby: Eddie Lopat, Bill Skowron, and Mickey Mantle, who lived in Closter for a time. High school kids like me didn't get to caddy for the rich and famous, but we got up close and personal with the Yankees when they stopped by. Mantle's forearms were, indeed, impressive. Somewhere around I've got a White Beeches scorecard with Yankee autographs on it. I don't remember exactly, but I probably got yelled at by the caddy master for bothering them. Totally worth it!

Jesse:

That's an awesome pickup!
