[mr. leisure]

Warren Spahn was 42 years old ?

[MickeyMan]

Jesus Christ, 227 and 201 pitches thrown by each.

oh ok. willie mays one of my all time favorites

Say Hey Kid.
Ask any Giants fan, he was the best centerfielder in NY, ask any Giants fan, he was better than Mantle.
I think they're both equal, and that Duke Snider guy wasn't too shabby either.

[19th Hole]

Thank You, Nash.

Great stuff.
Great memory.



Mick, Duke and "The Say Hey Kid"

[MickeyMan]

Say Hey Kid.
Ask any Giants fan, he was the best centerfielder in NY, ask any Giants fan, he was better than Mantle.
I think they're both equal, and that Duke Snider guy wasn't too shabby either.

Mantle could drink him under the table tho

[19th Hole]

Mantle could drink him under the table tho

Mantle, "If I had known that I was going to live this long, I would have taken better care of myself."

[hhsilver]

did you consider:
Haddix ( 12 perfect innings, first base runner on by error in 13th , 1 hit, 1 run, losing pitcher)
vs
Burdette (13 inning shutout)

[stevenash]

Mantle could drink him under the table tho

You got that right, if Mantle doesn't twist his ankle in the drain ditch he probably becomes the greatest ever instead of one of the greatest ever.

[stevenash]

Frank Viola (St. John's) vs. Ron Darling (Yale)
