Mickey Mantle - It Worked For Him

[Trench]

I was just watching Yankeeography on YES. The great Mickey Mantle said, "it took me 5 years before I figured out I could do what they all said I can do"

From a professional sports perspective, sometimes it takes time for the game to "slow down".....in any event as I ponder this quote, it gives me hope for our QB.

I loved Mickey. He would stop at an airport or anywhere on the street and sign autographs until the last person got theirs, even if it took hours. And he kept a stack of baseball cards in his pocket in case some kid didn't have anything to sign

In an interview one time, he was asked, "Have you ever considered becoming a manager?" He laughed and said, "I'm not all that smart, you know I hit baseballs right?...that's really all I know"

I wonder what he could have done had he not stepped in that drain.  Loved him too.
Not ashamed to admit his passing brought a tear to my eye.
