Question !!!!

My top four jerks.
When I was a kid somewhere in the 7-9 range I waited outside of Yankee Stadium for 2-3 hours after a game to get my idols autograph. There was myself and one other kid (of course my parents were there, I was a little squirt). Mantle comes out and says "get the F away from me you little bass turds". I thought my Dad was going to clock him. Even though I'm a Yankee fan I despise Mantle. I've heard it all before, give he a break, he was probably drunk. What kind of scumbag says that to two little kids? Drunk is not an excuse in my book.

Wow that is terrible, and I'm sure the fact that you were 7-9 at the time and this was coming from someone you had idolized made it all that much worse.

Yep, go from my idol to someone I despised. It was nice because it was toward the end of his career and every game I went to I'd root for a strikeout and many a time he obliged. I think one doubleheader we went to he had 6 K's. LOL

EDIT: I'll bet I'm the only person on this board that would not take a free Mantle autograph. Then again I might take it just to burn it.
