I haven't looked this up,but didn't Mantle and Ford have some wild drinking escapades in the day?Whitey's liver must have been built better than the Micks.

GRA,
Either the Mick was a heavier drinker than Ford, or he couldn't hold his liquor. Twenty-five or 30 years ago, someone came out with a book about Mantle or the Yankees during those days, and I recall one incident where the Yanks were at a club, and someone found Mantle passed out on his face in the men's room.
I never heard stories like that about Ford. Oh, sure, Whitey partied (and maybe brawled some), but not to the point of unconsciousness.
I also don't believe Mantle's claim, after doctors let him jump the waiting list to get a new liver, to have quit drinking. Going on the wagon would have been completely out of character for him. He wore out that new liver in record time.
