PEOPLE, Page 94Mantle PieceBy Emily Mitchell/Reported by Wendy Cole
Thinking of his new yet unaccountable celebrity gives Mickey
Mantle, 57, goose bumps. "I haven't played for 20 years," says the
Mick modestly, "but I seem to be more popular than I've ever been."
His bubble-gum card is like gold; fans stock up on Mantle
figurines, action toys and his four videos. Perhaps it's nostalgia
for a simpler time. "When I was playing," says Mantle, "we thought
six bottles of beer was risque." As for the kids, maybe "their dads
are saying `There's a guy you ought to be like.'" Home run.
