What great players, Baseball's Hey-Day!

Mickey Mantle spoke at our High-School assembly back in 1969 at Sammamish High School in Bellevue, WA.

It was awesome, don't remember how he came to our school though.

I’m surprised how much at ease he seems, as the story has been told that public speaking drove him to drink to steady his nerves, leading to his cirrhosis and early death. Mays looks more tense, acts like he developed a blister on his hand.

Mantle was in Seattle for a Bond drive push for a possible future Domed stadium, (with Joe Cronin, Yaz and Jimmy Piersall_), in either late 1967 or early ‘68. Mick was also in Seattle at Sicks Stadium doing color for the Saturday Game of the week, 5/31/69. Other than those 2, I do not know.
