So, much as a baseball team would, they retired his number. I think its kind of cute. Granted, it takes me a while to remove #7 from my want list every year. Maybe they can pull a Jackie and have every card be #7 for one year.<br /><br />Growing up, I loved bubblegum pop music and the Mets. Hated Sinatra (among others) and the Yankees. In 1966, I had a stack of Mantles that I lost flipping. That was kind of the plan. Went flipping, took all of the Yankees because they were expendable.<br /><br />And, yet, I grew older. Never lost my love for the Mets or bubblegum music (I love all that Disney Radio stuff). But I did gain an appreciation for the other things. I now think Sinatra was one of the greatest vocalists in the history of recorded music (that's probably not as flattering coming from someone who thinks highly of the 1910 Fruitgum Company) and I appreciate the Yankees legacy for what it is. That includes Mickey. Once a kid who flipped away his Mantles on purpose, I find pulling a Mantle from a modern pack--modern card designs or whatever--does give me a bit of a thrill.<br /><br />Congratulations, again.
