I got Gibson's autograph at a card show and I told him "You broke my heart when you guys beat the Yankees in the world series" and he looked at me with fire in his eyes and said "Somebody had to."
I also remember a story Gibson told about Mantle. Talking with admiration, Gibson said how in that world series Mantle couldnt push off with his back leg due to its being in such bad condition. However, just once, on one pitch from Gibson, Mickey had the fortitude to stay on that bad leg and push off and he hit a home run. Gibson told this story with a lot of admiration for The Mick.
