Yeah, going to Fort Lauderdale to see the Yankees was always a treat for me because of who you might run into. And I was there the day that Mickey Mantle, and I’m sure he did this a lot, was showing all the young players how to execute a drag button. This is a guy who hit what, 536 home runs, but people forget before he injured his knee, he was one of the fastest players in the game. and one of the great bunters in the game, even though he didn’t do it all the time. So I was really struck by the fact that this great Yankee is teaching the young guys how to bunt.
