No doubt, it's funny we all say "Jeter had so much class" which he did, then somehow we use Mantle as a benchmark. Mantle was a Pig! Lol. And poor Yogi is rarely mentioned ever, turned himself into a clown and his numbers get over looked!

No, no. Read my post. That's why I said "in achievment and class, if not talent," as it applies to Jeter.

Mantle was a drunken bum. A lovable drunken bum. But nevertheless a drunken bum.


Got it! Always wanted to say that out loud about Mantle and jumped to quick!
