He had some beautiful swing and from both sides of the plate.........As he said , if i knew i would live this long i would have taken better care of myself.............
I read Ball four by Jim Boutan and i always laugh when i think about Mantle telling Phil Linz to play it louder ......If you know the story, Berra was the MGR and after a loss he was ticked off............On the bus Linz was playing a hormonica and Berra yelled to the back of the bus to stop playing that thing..............Linz did not hear Berra and asked Mantle what did Berra say....He told Linz that Berra said to play it louder............All #### broke loose.....
