- Thinking of his new yet unaccountable celebrity gives Mickey
- Mantle, 57, goose bumps. "I haven't played for 20 years," says the
- Mick modestly, "but I seem to be more popular than I've ever been."
- His bubble-gum card is like gold; fans stock up on Mantle
- figurines, action toys and his four videos. Perhaps it's nostalgia
- for a simpler time. "When I was playing," says Mantle, "we thought
- six bottles of beer was risque." As for the kids, maybe "their dads
- are saying `There's a guy you ought to be like.'" Home run.
