On this date in 1951, the already glorious New York Yankees exponentially increased their glory by promoting a young man from Spavinaw, Oklahoma named Mickey Charles Mantle. At first wearing the unfamiliar number 6, Mickey Charles Mantle embarked upon a Hall of Fame career in which he would swat a mighty 536 home runs. In addition, this legendary figure would appear in World Series in 1951, 1952, 1953, 1955, 1956, 1957, 1958, 1960, 1961, 1962, 1963 and 1964, reigning as a World Champion following seven (7) of said Series.
Following the retirement of Mickey Charles Mantle, it was universally agreed by all serious scholars of this most majestic game that Mickey Charles Mantle was, indeed, the most perfect baseball player ever to lace up spikes. It is believed by many that Mickey Charles Mantle would have struck 846 home runs had his career not been shortened by injury and occasional intoxicants.
The legend of this glorious athlete has continued to grow to the present day, and will continue to grow up to the time that this great nation becomes an Islamic Republic. At that time, his records will probably be erased and/or destroyed.
Look to the photograph at left. Tell me, dear friends, have you ever seen a sweeter swing than the one being exhibited by Mickey Charles Mantle? Of course you haven’t.
Here’s to Mickey Charles Mantle, God’s Most Perfect Baseball Player.
