i don't know about the old part, but it's not funny

1/30/2007 3:16:17 PM

maybe a dumb question but is that legit?

1/30/2007 3:19:49 PM

signatures are identical and according to snopes, they havent found anything to disprove it

1/30/2007 3:26:04 PM

hmmm, good thing there arent devices that could take a photographic copy (you could call it a "photocopy" even) of his signature off something else and just print it on a blank page with lines that someone could write on....

probly worth some $texas

Lol, oh, he means BESIDE the yankee bullpen.

When he said "by the yankee bullpen" I though he meant the pitchers in the yankee bullpen gave him the blowjob.

all im saying is that snopes usually comes out and says this isnt true because....[insert evidence here]


on this snopes says "we dont have any information about the origins or authenticity of this item"

http://www.snopes.com/risque/celebrities/mantle.asp

is it fake? perhaps

could someone have forged the signature via photoshop as insinuated in jaybees worthlessly smartass post? perhaps

is there a chance it could be real? perhaps

and the thought that it just possibly could be real brings me a small amount of happiness, so fuck it until someone prooves otherwise, i'm going to enjoy that happiness

i thought it was funny

and it was capped off by the "All American Boy" tagline

1/30/2007 5:08:28 PM

It's probably real. He probably got it when he was fucked up (was there a time in the 70s where he wasn't housed? Probably not...) and thought it was funny. Dude was one of the hardest alchy's out there...

The 'Mantle' doc on HBO didn't do his life justice. He was really a hell-raiser. Even though that fucker wrote Personal Fouls, Golenbocks book 'Bronx Zoo' is good to get a real idea of how he was..

Quote :

"NEW YORK - A racy novel about baseball great Mickey Mantle has found a new home after being canceled in the wake of publisher Judith Regan's firing. Lyons Press, an imprint of Globe Pequot Press that publishes many sports books, will release Peter Golenbock's "7: The Mickey Mantle Novel" on April 3, with a planned first printing of 250,000. "Peter is a terrific storyteller with a great track record, and we're proud to have him on our list," Lyons associate publisher Eugene Brissie said Wednesday in a statement. "`7: The Mickey Mantle Novel' is a book that absolutely deserves to be published." Golenbock has written numerous other books, including "Red Sox Nation," "Personal Fouls" and "Dynasty." Regan's ReganBooks, an imprint of HarperCollins, was supposed to publish the Mantle book in March. But Regan had been strongly criticized for her attempted O.J. Simpson project, "If I Did It," and "7" was endangered after family members and former teammates of Mantle's objected to the novel, which includes an imagined tryst with Marilyn Monroe. After Regan was fired in December, her imprint was disbanded and the Mantle book called off. "

Well at least we know Golenbock doesn't limit his fallacious books to the living.
