Sad du Jour

That's an amazing photo, capturing the moment Mickey lost a step from being the fastest runner in baseball, at the time as likely to bunt for a single as hit a behemoth home run, while kicking off the first of 18 surgeries that would only add to his fatal lifestyle.

All because DiMaggio, who refused to lower himself to speak to the rookie Mantle all season, because he's an asshole, decided to take his sweet fucking time calling Mickey off the play. Fuck you, Joe D! 😡

Great short doc on Mickey here.
