I visited "old" Yankee Stadium in 2007. While there, i took the tour of Monument Park, where Yankee Greats are honored. That day my wife took a picture of me (in my Mantle jersey), standing between Joe's #5 plaque and Mickey's #7 plaque. I framed it later and put the caption "In Good Company" beneath the picture. It remains on display in my mancave to this day.

Joe DiMagio was a humorless, jealous self-centered and self important creep who never helped Mickey as a rookie and was not very friendly to rookies, including Mickey. He was jealous of Mickey because he was getting a lot of attention when he came up! He was also partially responsible for Mickey's catastrophic injury to his knee in 1951 when he wouldn't let Mickey handle the fly ball pop up that Willie May's hit!

I like Joe Dimaggio & Mickey Mantle but maybe next time you might consider waiting a little bit longer between changing the slidee. I couldn't really see them & would have liked to have seen my baseball heroes.

Excellent story and RIP Steve ❤

My brother and I have been saving for this but I don't see any women 😢 Wonder how that would work

At the end of a tour of Lousiville Slugger factory they allowed me to pick one of several bats used by the greats for a picture. Knowing I was a proud Canadian they assumed I would take Joey Votto and I almost did. Then I surprised them by taking the guy I grew up with to love baseball. Mr. Mantle.

Can't believe Mick did slug Jerkkin Joe

I was at Mickey Mantle Day. Mick was my boyhood idol.

I like what was said about the patriotism that showed in their faces in regards to their respect for the flag.

Thank you for sharing. Joe DiMaggio is my Favorite Player!❣️( No offense to Mantle, he's incredible. ) I'm sorry for your Loss.🙏

The other two Yankee Icons were Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig. Am I correct?

I Just a kid when I first payed attention to baseball. I wanted to be like these great players of the past. Even though I was a Reds fan, the pinstripes of the Yankees grabbed attracted me more and more to the game of baseball.

I just stumbled across this video. What a great little story that means a lot to a lot of people.

Wish I would’ve seen the Comet play, man

Nice video 😢😮😅😊😊😊😊

Not gonna talk about your activist “professors”??!! Weird! Might want to to acknowledge that especially since she’s been fired!!

Where have you gone Joe DiMaggio ?

DiMag was furious that Mantle was introduced AFTER him on this Old Timers Day. He threatened to never return to one again. The next year, after Mantle, Frank Messer introduced Number 5 to the crowd, cryptically saying, "For obvious reasons, we save this next player for last....."

twof four icons- how about five

This photo is both timeless and iconic. The absolutely finest photo of Joe Di Maggio and Mickey Mantle I've yet seen, a magnificent image. We must offer a heartfelt tribute to the late Steve Flesser, for taking this legendary photo of Joe and Mickey.

Funny

Joe didn’t even speak to Mickey in his rookie season even though their lockers were right next to each other. Joe regarded Mickey as a rival and resented him. Mickey was beloved by his teammates. Joe was not.

I own and will forever a Record of this game. In my mind it is priceless. Epic and those guys were Two of the greatest ALL TIME

Awesome video, Legends

You're positivity is beautiful ❤️. Get to the top FAST - Promo SM.

Dimaggio should have backed off that catch and let mantle handle it. DiMaggio was a dirt bag

Mick my boyhood hero!

LEGENDS!!!!!!!!!

And you see why Mick hit 175 more HR than Joe.

Timeless - such a professional - RIP
