I don’t want to remember him as a womanizer and teller of dirty jokes, but as the man who would go out of his way to help a teammate or a friend.
I don’t want to remember Mickey Mantle as a drunk who came to plate and hit a home run. I want to remember him as a great hitter who came limping to the plate in pain and hit a home run, and as he crossed the plate, saw blood ooze from his leg.
That’s my kind of hero. - Mark Skousen

Looks like he did.
Having Bucky Dent and Aaron Boone throw out the ceremonial first pitch was a nice touch, too. Also, the Bombers showing up didn't exactly hurt.
