Patrick opens today's show with an oral history of the career of Mickey Mantle. This was a man who had a lot of pain, his body betrayed him at almost every turn. Mantle is believed to have torn his ACL during his rookie season, and to have played with a partially torn ACL his entire career. Evidence does point to this toward the end of his career, where Mantle would fall to the ground in pain after taking a swing. Even still, Mantle had one of the greatest careers in the history of the game, and even with his injury history, he still was a 5-tool player. Mantle had every tool possible, had one of the best careers in baseball history, and he was hurt for most of it. Following the Mickey Mantle talk, Patrick moves on to give a stat update. He also makes a case for Bryce Harper and Valadamir Guerro Jr. to win their league's MVP award. Both players do deserve it, but do they get the award? Only time will tell. Patrick ends today's show with a standing and wild card update for everyone. If you enj
