I agree completely. I actually remember telling me a story about when he was a kid. The Yankees were in town so my dad and a few of his friends decided to go autograph hunting. When Mantle saw them he told them to get the hell out of there. Roger Maris on the other hand, saw them and talked with them and gave them each his autograph (my dad still has it). After hearing this I always found it funny that Mantle was so idolized by Yankee fans while Maris was so hated.
