Description:
This is arguably one of our favorite memorabilia pieces here at Pro Sports Memorabilia both for aesthetics and value. Mickey Mantle was a legend who touched many a baseball fan. In August of 1995 at Mickey Mantle's funeral, legendary broadcaster and Mickey Mantle fan, Bob Costas, gave one of the most amazing eulogies. He stated, and more than that, he was a presence in our lives – a fragile hero to whom we had an emotional attachment so strong and lasting that it defied logic. Mickey often said he didn't understand it, this enduring connection and affection – for men now in their forties and fifties, otherwise perfectly sensible, who went dry in the mouth and stammered like schoolboys in the presence of Mickey Mantle.
