A 7-time World Series champion, 20-time league MVP, Baseball Hall of Fame, and whatnot? The New York Yankees legend, Mickey Mantle, dominated an era in Major League Baseball. During his legendary tenure in the Bronx, Mickey was a serial hitter in the game.
Born on October 20, 1931, the Yankees legend breathed his last on August 13, 1995. But he will forever be an icon in the game of baseball. Apart from launching moonshots from the plate, Mickey did something in Yankee Stadium that probably no one suspected.

Recently, a note written by Mickey Mantle has been doing rounds on the internet. Notably, what he wrote down is not about the game or something related to baseball. But it is a bit controversial, and probably everyone would not even like it to read.
When MLB legend Mickey Mantle shared his favorite moment at Yankees Stadium
Per Barstool Sports, the New York Yankees asked their former players to mention their favorite memory in Yankee Stadium on the occasion of its 50th anniversary. And Mickey Mantle decided to come up with the most epic memory. And it had nothing to do with the game.
His words were, “I got a bl**job under the right field bleachers by the Yankee bullpen. It was about the third or fourth inning. I had a pulled groin and couldn’t f**k at the time.”
“She was a very nice girl and asked me what to do with the c*m after I come in her mouth. I said, don’t ask me, I’m no c*ck-su**er.”

In a career that spanned over 18 years, the late Yankees slugger belted 536 home runs from the plate. Not to forget that he never played for any other MLB franchise but the New York Yankees. He was one of the rare hitters in baseball who won the Triple crown in MLB.
Earlier this week, a Mickey Mantle baseball card from 1952, sold for a whopping $12,600,000. Per CNN, it is the most expensive sports memorabilia, surpassing Diego Maradona’s infamous $9.3 million worth ‘Hand of God’ jersey.
