ApplePayThe headline MANTLE'S MISERY refers to the physical pain and fading career Mantle was experiencing at 33, during his 15th year with the New York Yankees.
Mantle's career was plagued by leg and knee pain, and he believed his family history suggested he wouldn't live long, leading him to a lifestyle of hard partying.
His struggles with osteomyelitis, knee degeneration, and alcoholism ultimately impacted his performance and prevented him from achieving a .300 career batting average, which reportedly bothered him.
Despite his challenges, Mantle was a highly successful player, winning the World Series seven times and securing three AL MVP awards during his career.
