    Ha I got kicked out of class during the trial in 5th grade for cheering.  I just thought he was a cool athlete that couldn't have done it bc our sports hero's were like God's.  Just think that was right when Mickey Mantle announced to the world liver cancer from a lifetime of being a drunk.  Surely not Mickey.  My dad and my grandfather idiolized him.   Not my shining moment but fuck that bitch.  Only teacher I ever had that didn't like me.

    Timeline 1995:

    Early 1995, doctors discovered that Mantle's liver had been severely damaged by both alcohol-induced cirrhosis and hepatitis C, and that he had an inoperable liver cancer known as undifferentiated hepatocellular carcinoma, necessitating a liver transplant.

    June 8, 1995 Mantle received the transplant at Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas  

     August 13, 1995 Mantle died at 2:10 a.m

    Netflix or Prime had a show about him,  Highly recommended.  

    He caught like 150 plus double headers.  That was when they were back to back.  Rare struck out.  12 times with 656 plate appearance.

    Hated Steinbrenner.   A great manager too.  Managed the Mets in their miracle year.

    He was an 18-time All-Star and won 10 World Series championships as a player --more than any other player in MLB history

    https://bleacherreport.com/articles/1115625-yogi-berras-incredible-feat-for-the-yankees-that-no-slugger-will-ever-match

     Berra made 656 plate appearances, hit .322/.383/.533, and, get ready for this, he struck out 12 times.

    It wasn't as if Berra choked up on the bat the way Nelson Fox used to do in an attempt to simply make contact. Berra was a dangerous power hitter that didn't strike out. Berra finished his career with 358 home runs.

    The numbers reveal that in 1950, Berra hit 2.33 home runs for every strikeout. He drove in 10.33 runs for every strikeout.

    When Babe Ruth hit 60 home runs, he hit 0.67 home runs for every strikeout and batted in 1.84 runs for every strikeout.

    Joe DiMaggio, like Berra, was a great power hitter, and like Berra, didn't strike out much. DiMaggio's 361 career home runs and 369 strikeouts are the standard used by those individuals that insist a strikeout is not just another out.

    Berra was close to DiMaggio. He hit 358 home runs and struck out only 414 times.

    You posted a Bit of BULLSHIT...

    Let me clean up your mess with a FACT...

    Total BULLSHIT Claim:

    "Managed the Mets in their miracle year".

    FACT:

    ***The "Miracle Mets" were the 1969 Mets.

    The Manager was Gil Hodges.

    (Berra's best season as Mets Mgr was 1973 when he lost the World Series in 7 Games to the As).

    I respect this answer.  Still blame Hoffa for fucking it up, was all set but that jackass is technology retarded.

    A shame as the wager never had any chance to lose, that moron Mike doesn't understand how removal works in the Senate.

    Obviously...

    Only the terminally clueless would have thought there was a chance in hell of getting 18 Dems to vote to convict in a GOP-Led sham impeachment.

    NO! You Weren't.

    You didn't have a prayer of getting 67 votes in a Dem-Led Senate. Period!

    (Disclaimer: This input has nothing to do with "taking sides". I am merely acknowledging REALITY).

  6. Interesting Stat regarding O.J.'s 2000 yard season...

    In 1973, O.J. had 2,003 yards in 14 Games (14-game season).

    The only other time in NFL History that anyone accumulated 2,000 yds over a 14-Game stretch in one season was in 1997.

    In a 16-game season, Barry Sanders finished with 2,053 yds. However, he had only 53 combined yards in his first 2 games.

    Thus, in the final 14 games (Game 3 thru Game 16) he accumulated exactly 2000 yds.

    Joining O.J., as the only players ever to accumulate 2,000 yds (or more) in a 14-game stretch in a season.
