Best to Wear #7 Jersey Number? Mantle or Elway

[Mulli]

I say Mantle. Thoughts?

The only Yankee's jersey that I would ever wear is Lou Gehrig.

I was just pondering that Elways first three Super Bowls were very LeBrron James like.

Elway: 2 rings, 1 MVP
Mantle: 7 rings, 3 MVPs

No question, it's The Mick...

It's all about the championships!

Mantle had 536 career tators before the juice era.

Would've been a helluva lot more if not for those injuries...

My last four or five years with the Yankees, I didn't realize I was ruining myself with all the drinking. I just thought, This is fun. Hell, I used to see guys come into Yankee Stadium from Detroit or Chicago; they'd be out taking batting practice, all of them with hangovers. But today I can admit that all the drinking shortened my career. When I retired in the spring of '69, I was 37. Casey had said when I came up, "This guy's going to be better than Joe DiMaggio and Babe Ruth." It didn't happen. I never fulfilled what my dad had wanted, and I should have. God gave me a great body to play with, and I didn't take care of it. And I blame a lot of it on alcohol.

Everybody tries to make the excuse that injuries shortened my career. Truth is, after I'd had a knee operation, the doctors would give me rehab work to do, but I wouldn't do it. I'd be out drinking.
