The greatest Yankee of all time. He hit a ton of home runs, and would have hit more if he wasn't such a boozehound. He wanted to punch umpires in the face for not calling him safe at the plate. Died about 14 years ago from liver failure I believe.
Yankee Fan #1: Hey did Mickey Mantle just punch that guy in the face?
Fan #2: Well, you don't mess with the Mick after a night of hard liquor.

Get the Mickey Avalon mug.Dear, where does one begin when defining Micky. Micky is an individual who you will never forget... you can't forget... you won't ever wish to forget. A very intelligent guy with a sweetness about him which is very rare to come across. His honesty and ability to read you like a leaf will amaze you, and sometimes you might feel shy. He's absolutely gorgeous, with eyes which will haunt you in your sleep but in a beautiful way and his touch will linger on days, months and sometimes even a year after he's touched your face. Dreaming about being wrapped in the comfort of his strong arms is something experienced every moment of the day. He may not be aware but his passionate sensual nature can make a bashful girl's heart beat very fast... something which she's not felt before. He's an amazing guy, very understanding and patient with a certain person's blonde moments (she was dropped as a child :)). His heart is always in the right place. He is kind, super understanding and would do anything for the ones he loved. To have him in your life is the greatest pressie... so treasure it.
wow you're being dated by Micky? you lucky miss. Loved him head to toe alright and show him the world. give him your heart don't hesitate! he'll take care of it...
