I'm a huge Yankees fan...born in Bronx and went to so many Yankees games as a kid...My Grandfather (Mom's side) was a devout Yankee fan from the 20s until his passing in 1970. My Dad's side were devout Brooklyn Dodger fans during those yrs. (When the Dodgers left for L.A...they adopted the Mets, rather than follow the Dodgers in L.A) My Grandfather and Grandmother (Mom's side) were Yankee Season Ticket holders for 40yrs....so as you can imagine they saw them all, from Ruth to Bobby Mercer. Although Gehrig was his favorite player of all time, he said that Mantle was the best of all of them.
Actually still see them every year in Tampa and when they play Marlins in Miami...like last season.
