Mickey Mantle is like a saint to Yankee fans "Of A Certain Age" (including yours truly).
Even the diminutive Bob Costas carries a Mickey Mantle baseball card in his man-purse.

    I had that ball in my house and someone broke in and stole it. Must have been one of OJ's memorabilia guys. Or maybe Selena.

    Truth be told, I have sometimes been accused of being aheavy drinker and a horn dog ( or was it corn dog)?
