I'm not dying to, this is lame. It's one thing to actually argue about baseball, but you aren't. You don't believe that Mantle didn't use his bat enough. So can we skip ahead to the part where you deny saying it?
Because, at some point in the future, I'm going to say, "Mike's so stupid he thinks Mantle didn't use his bat enough."
You'll say, "nah ah, quote it."
Then I will.
Then you'll act like punching a couple terms into a search engine to get a quote from the past is something weird.
