Well…Mickey Mantle’s first year (1). Joe D’s last year (2). Berra, Rizzuto (3, 4). The Big Cat (5). That’s all I know without looking…not sure if there is a pitcher in there or not…
What’s the bonus if I’m right since I named them?
Well, I’m glad somebody took a stab at this. Nice job, John.
Answer: 5: Rizzuto, Mantle, DiMaggio, Berra, and Mize (The Big Cat).
For getting it right and naming the players, for his bonus, John gets to be the beer wench on Roundtable Day. “Get me a beer, beer wench!”
