No offense to Willie May. Mantle was better. May have been the best ever.

Willie Mays. No offense to a great ballplayer.

I will say, Mantle had a gorgeous swing. Just pure power. I was stepping through it frame by frame, and he looked like spring uncoiling, just pure power, in balance, face ahead.
Just remarkable.
Sad. When you watch him, something isn’t right. He doesn’t seem at all comfortable. I know part of that is due to us knowing now what he was like then. Mays looked oddly tense, too.

Considering Mickey was playing with osteomyelitis his entire career and playing with injuries for a lot of it, one can only imagine what he could have been if he’d been healthier.

All due respect to Mantle, but Mays was better. A marvel in the outfield, and if not for Candlestick and it's winds, I believe he'd have beaten Aaron to Ruth's record.
