And as usuaul, I will assume your absense of response is indicative of your being unable to answer.
In fact, my original thesis remains intact. "I saw them play" is a worthless, anecdotal argument when comparing DiMaggio and Mantle.

The above [ludicrously] is a bit like condemning the Old Testament contributor, who expressed: [Genesis I: 3]:
"God said, 'Let there be light," and there was light. God saw the light was good.'" ...
on the grounds that the game is over because God is portrayed as being foolish in not knowing light was good until He had created it.
By way of context [always a reasonably good thing to consider] the article made passing reference to the fact that there are diminishing numbers of those around today who had had the opportunity to see both men play - live.
In that context, I framed my remark, equally as offhanded, to allow that we may be diminishing in number but not all gone.
At NO point did I introduce that as a particular credential or cachet for instant infallibility; only your warped and self-centered sensibility perceived otherwise, and in typical fashion, attempted to hijack the thread making me the topic and you the ultimate evaluator.
My own posts have been well supported with various statistics; and when I've stated an opinion, I've introduced that as such. You contribute nothing but your own dyspeptic, bilious conceit.
Which is reason enough to ignore you from here on out.
