Ok, now you are showing your baseball stupidity.

Every single person that has ever covered the sport would say Mantle was a better overall player than Berra but ok

Mantle is always in the conversation for best baseball player ever. Berra is not

What this boils down to is you liking Berra more, him being good, the stats not supporting him being better, and you arguing intangibles. You do this all the time

I would absolutely agree with you but you know what? If I could have a choice of the two to start an imaginary team, I might well take Yogi just because, even if Mantle was “the better player.” Because it’s easier to find a historically elite outfielder than it is to find a historically elite catcher.

You know how big Mickey Mantle was?

When he died 30 years after he retired... Sports Illustrated didn't even have to put his name on the cover for the younger generations.
