On June 6, 1980 Mickey Mantle came to northwest Connecticut to be the guest speaker at a sports dinner. This was back in the day, when athletes past and present spoke at events such as these, in many cases to supplement their income. In other respects, it was a time when athletes and the fans were much closer than they are today. Here is my interview with this New York Yankees great.
