After I saw Mantle winning third great home run winner at these forums, I decided to start a new topic about Mantle's drinking. I know everyone knows this already, but if Mantle was able to control his drinking like the Babe did then he could of been one of the greatest home run hitters of all time.
Everyone knows that Babe was a big drinker, but he was able to control it when it came to play baseball. But Mickie not so much, which really hurt him.
Do you guys agree with me when I say that Mantle would of been one of the greatest maybe the greatest if he stayed away from alcohol?
I know it's hard to determine, but I just thought this could be an interesting topic.
