I liked it when Mickey gestured for the photographer to get the hell out of the way in the middle of the golf cart ride LOL

The Yankees have the greatest legends in baseball history
Comment from : @michaelnelson1128

My Mom bought five tickets for me and four of my friends (two were Mets fans) from Bankers Trust We sat in the right field upper deck I'm getting goose bumps writing this It was one of the greatest days in Yankee Stadium and it was a great speech I met him about 15 years later, by accident, at the Consumer Electronics Show at the ColecoVision booth I was a tech reporter covering the event Coleco was introducing a new baseball video game for its game system I had an afternoon appointment to interview a couple of execs, but when the show opened around 10 am or so I passed the big booth and a PR exec waved me over and said, "Would you like to meet Mickey Mantle?" My face must've feel because she turned around to her assistant and laughed, "Wow, Steve looks like a little boy!" I was ushered into the back of the booth and the ladies went to get a Polaroid camera (it was the mid 1980s) to get a pic of us I spent four or five minutes talking with Mickey Mantle, my boyhood hero He was nice, polite and humble Wonderful guy Thanks for posting

Comment from : @siobob1

If I had a mind to pick up every brochure that I saw cluttered on the field and stands that day I could have bought myself a pretty nice car 30 years down the line

Growing up as a kid in the mid 60's and playing baseball, the "Mick" was my hero even though I lived near the Detroit area Had my chance to get his autograph after a Tigers/Yankees game one Summers day in 1966 I believe You could go right up to the door of the visiting team bus back in those days waiting for the players on the street to get on I had gotten a number of Yankee autographs prior to Mickey getting on the bus along with an auto of Joe Garigiola and as he approached, I asked if he would sign my scorecard, but he was reluctant to sign, but I got that close to him that day and I cherish that moment as a 13 year old baseball kid Still have the score card with Whitey Ford autograph and others Sure miss those days at the ballpark and my brief moment with #7

Watched it on channel 18 in Hartford Connecticut
Comment from : @SaundersE5

Longest ovation in history for anyone, anytime, anyplace Mick had to cut it short
Comment from : @ronaldreddish2264

7 HAS ALWAYS BEEN MY LUCKY NUMBER 🎉
Comment from : @jeffreykoran4820

As CBS broadcaster Pat Summerall - subbing for Frank Messer and Phil Rizzuto who were on the field, noted - the standing ovation was timed at 7 minutes or 8 minutes Among the four major US sports (baseball, football, basketball, hockey), I think only Bobby Orr's retired number ceremony in Boston Garden was longer, at 12 or 13 minutes, but I'd have to research it more In any event, Sunday, June 8, 1969 was an historic day at Yankee Stadium, for New York City, for baseball, and for the nation
Comment from : @josephlazzaro9929

Ive never seen the entire ceremony Thanks for the upload ❤
Comment from : @marktoken6052

The old Dago hated Mantle He was so jealous
Comment from : @NoName-ge6wc

Every time, EVERY DAMN TIME, I convince myself that THIS time, I won't choke up when Mel Allen calls Mick from the dugout
Comment from : @moboutmen

I have a 45 record of the broadcast My uncle went and gave it to me 18 minute ovation for my baseball hero Great player, great teammate, after baseball I understand he had SOME dark days
Comment from : @stephenfricke9298

The fan reaction here for Mickey can only be compared to Willis reed coming out in game 7 vs lakers in 1970
Comment from : @StevenFeldleit

Never seen a standing ovation this long ever!!!brTHE MICK!
Comment from : @JSC-1971

Of course someone has to throw something at him on his final lap around the field Smfh
Comment from : @shawnnixon2616

Crowd going absolutely nuts Announcer: " ladies and gentlemen, may we have your attention, please " Pretty sure you have got ALLLLLLL their attention!! Lol Longest ovation I've ever seen and heard
Comment from : @shawnnixon2616

Why were the hometown fans booing Roger Maris when it was announced he hit a record 61 home runs in 1961 That's the most absurd thing I've ever heard
Comment from : @bstnd3

They don’t make them like Mickey anymore #7 Just great
Comment from : @elevenb1933

The whole league should have a day of remembrance for Mickey Mantle
Comment from : @27265

Bob Sheppard , Mel Allen, Phil Rizzuto, Frank Messer, Pat Summerall these guys voices still echo in my head Best memories ever!
Comment from : @steveisgood2go

Thank You I heard this on the radio when I was 9 years old, had to be at a party at a park I remember the ovation First time I ever saw it Yogi was there, it was at the time of one of his boycotts of the Yankees
Comment from : @joeshmoe7789

My first memories of baseball was Mickey's last season of 1968 I was born in 1961 He played first base but he was still Mickey
Comment from : @mikefriedman593

I love the public's reaction when Mickey waived
Comment from : @dariosandoval5140

Why was Roger Maris not mentioned
Comment from : @ArturoRodriguez-xh3vk

When men were men
Comment from : @floundergearjam

I have his last Topps card prior to retirement I was just 7 when he retired
Comment from : @bobthebuilder9553

If that doesn’t tell baseball’s fans something, about who the greatest was nothing will MM they had to give Joe a plaque on Mickey Mantle day? BS
Comment from : @ronniebishop2496

Just so I'm not misunderstandingit was set up so DiMaggio could be introduced lastat Mickey Freaking Mantle Day Did that man have to have the spotlight at all times? Did he always have to be introduced last?
Comment from : @pjg19751

Alcohol damn
Comment from : @nickmele9968

This was the day I became a Yankee fanat 9 years old
Comment from : @johnsain

Too bad Billy couldn’t be there… was mgr for Minnesota I think in 69
Comment from : @jayclarke5466

The ovation for Mickey that day was Unbelievable He always said this was his greatest memory in baseball and I could see why!
Comment from : @LaMostraVia

The booed when Maris was mentioned Sad
Comment from : @munz1870

1969 fue el año que se retiro Mike Mantle si o no
Comment from : @erasmomoreno-nk4gs

Did I miss something, or was Roger Marris not there?
Comment from : @miketrissel5494

He had a very great career, but imagine if he didn't step in that drain in the 1951 World Series! He was one of the fastest players in baseball until that happened! He still use to beat out a drag bunt ever once in a while Imagine one of today's sluggers drag bunting!
Comment from : @df5295

Why was Roger Maris not present on this day
Comment from : @frankperalta3459

I was there age 15 Great memories
Comment from : @Brammy007a

A pleasure to watch this - first time I've seen it since I sat in the right field bleachers that day I'm surprised at how well my memory matches up with this video What a great day this was
Comment from : @steveja7

Mickey was the only person i ever idolized growing upwhat a moment in time here
Comment from : @jadezee6316

Marv Albert reference Nice!
Comment from : @jerryking45

like several people belowI was there I still have the color photo given out with Mickey kneeling under the American flag on the front, and #7 on the pinstripes on the back Mickey was beloved by the Yankee fanslike the Babe, Lou, and Joe D before him because he was the best in his day, like the others were in their time This was the Yankee traditionto be the best This was the tradition of America itselfto be the best Today, the Yankees are not the best, and little effort is being done to restore their greatness as a team It is symbolic of the decline of our country I am glad I was alive to see the Mick hit homers and to live in our nation when it was at its best
Comment from : @johnfoster535

I was a kid growing up in NY right at the time Mickey came to the Yankees He meant so much to kids, and through my job many years later I was able to meet him Such a thrill He signed a photo I brought to work, knowing he would be there
Comment from : @joelsanoff8228

I can't even imagine his records if the Yankees had reasonable distances to center and left! 457 feet and 461 feet was absolutely atrocious! By today's standards he would have had 80 homers in a year and 800 homers lifetime
Comment from : @vlugovsky

Joe D was a complicated man I thought he gave a classy speech here
Comment from : @johngraham1001

The great Mickey Mantle and he was always so humble, so down to earth My baseball hero
Comment from : @michaeldillon1027

My brother and I were there, screaming, tears dripping down our cheeks It was so loud our ears were ringing for days, and our voices were hoarse for weeks We idolized the Mick, who was such an inspiration for us to play through pain, and have empathy for your opponent He was a perfect gentleman on the field Off the field, maybe not so much
Comment from : @ronpeter3

Un real man incredible!
Comment from : @johammond2020

Classless fans booed Roger Maris smh
Comment from : @deanw0rmer

Typical of the Yankees I bet Joe wouldn't show up without receiving an award It was always about him
Comment from : @terrywilson8527

You were a treasure to us in NY rip mickey
Comment from : @williamgallucci9913

It's a shame he never learned how to embrace his fansthe love they showed him was unequal to any other
Comment from : @mikeamico6763

I saw the Mick, Roger, Yogi, Bobby, Elston, Clete, Whitey, Moose, Tony I was a very lucky baseball fan
Comment from : @imlurking9103

I was born a year and 3 months later after the Mickey Mantle day retiring Mickey Mantle's number 7 6-8-69 so I never did get to watch him play up to his retirement but he was one of the greatest that ever played the game but he was short having enough home runs to get in the 700 home run Club but I am sure that Mickey Mantle is in the 500 but he is in the MLB Hall of Fame but I am here to see the other greatest player there ever was Albert Pujols just 5 more home runs to go to be in the 700 home run with Barry Bonds(762)brHank Aaron(755) Babe Ruth(714)brAnd Albert Pujols will be in the Baseball Hall of Fame with the other greatest that ever played the gamebrBRENT
Comment from : @bhuff557

Kind of sad they booed at the mention of Maris in '61 Guy really never was loved, was he?
Comment from : @timconklin2050

I was there
Comment from : @kenmusillo8667

I understand Those fans COULDN'T stop applauding - they had to express the only way they could what Mickey meant to them in their lives It makes perfect sense They just couldn't stop
Comment from : @melD0217c

I was there The pinnacle of an otherwise-misspent youth The ovation was thunderous And richly deserved RIP, #7
Comment from : @SkyDawg108

Bob Sheppard is the best public address announcer in history

"Mantle had the greatest natural ability of any player that had ever played" --- Ted Williams
Comment from : @wrongwaypete

No other athlete will ever get or will deserve to get this kind of ovation Most athletes in this day and age think they are such great players but in fact they couldn't shine this man's shoes This man didn't play the game this man was the game
Comment from : @erwinmonti5066

My Yankee hating uncle took his 17 year old Mickey Mantle idolizer nephew to see this It’s a time I’ll never forget, thanks uncle Joe

Comment from : @eudorodriguez3914

When I was a boy in the 1950's and 1960's, like so many other NYC Metropolitan area boys of that era, I was a big time NY Yankees fan; and baseball--but most especially Mickey Mantle--was everything to me! brI just loved Mickey Mantle! brI had both a Mickey Mantle bat and glove, and I taught myself to be a switch hitter! brNaturally, I was very sad when I learned in 1969 that Mickey Mantle would soon retire! brOn June 8th 1969, just prior to my High School graduation, I was in the outfield stands at Yankee Stadium for Mickey Mantle Day! brIt was surreal--one of the most moving experiences of my life! brI had little expectation that I could ever top or eclipse that most special day, and I vowed to never again return to Yankee Stadium brTo this day, I've remained true to my word!
Comment from : @TillerSeeker

I really don’t know much about baseball, or Mickey Mantle, but I’m really glad I watched this ceremony for a player who was truly loved by all fans, and respected by all amazing players I’m begging to learn about them, and greatly appreciate them for whom they were
Comment from : @arymonem

This may sound childish but I cry Every time I watch this That is what Mickey meant to me
Comment from : @garfieldrupe630

I didn't know that Pat Summeral did a Yankee game
Comment from : @MrAschiff

I got to see him play at Yankee Stadium!
Comment from : @JohnyReb43

This is so cool, Legendary stuff right here
Comment from : @SeahawksBamBamKam

Dumb unrelated question How was Legendary Broadcaster Pat Summerall was the announcer here? Did he host a Yankees Pre game show on WPIX when not doing NFL games at this time?
Comment from : @americangiant1003

I will never forget this I watched with my family in our living room, I was soon to be 8 It was the tribute to end all tributes
Comment from : @georgesakalo4667

11:31 Classless fans booing Roger Maris
Comment from : @jurgostuff

Wow I was born that year, watched the whole video very well done, I like they included all the teammates who were just as talented, and seeing DiMaggio, really outstanding to see this bit of history, thank you whoever posted this
Comment from : @aprilosborn1886

I still have the Large Blue Button they gave out that day with his picture on it along with the inscription Mickey Mantle Day June 8 1969
Comment from : @captainjohn51

The crowd tells the story nothing more to add Went there with two of my friends from High-school he was the best when healthy I ever seen!
