The Glory and Misery of Mickey Mantle
Mantle made the All-Star team for 14 straight seasons and finished in the top five in MVP voting nine times. But this photo, one of the most famous depictions of an athlete in decline ever recorded, shows something else: a man on the downside of a glorious career, ravaged by injuries, betrayed by the very body that had brought him fame and riches.
Opening day is finally here.. Tigers vs Yankees, 1:05pm.

Memories, and Debris, at Old Yankee Stadium (NYTimes)
Within seconds, the section came out like a wisdom tooth extracted. The concrete portion of the roof tumbled forward, then down, followed by the risers where seats were once attached. The dust cloud dissipated quickly.
History being destroyed :(
Even though I knew this day would come, it is still really hard to see. Luckily, the new stadium is already filled with great moments.
